A nanny is someone who takes care of children at home. We used to come across the concept of nanny a lot in old Turkish movies. Nannies were then usually employed by large households and wealthy households. Today, however, there may be different situations depending on the conditions. Depending on the family's request, nannies can work at certain hours during the day or work as a boarder. This may vary depending on the agreement between the family, the employer, and the nanny. Working hours of the family are often one of the influencing factors of this situation.
If the family cannot take care of their child during the day due to work or any other situation, nannies take care of the children instead of the family. Paid nannies perform childcare. The concept of caregiver is also used instead of nanny.
If the nanny is experienced, she also shares her experiences with the family at the point of child care and helps the family at this point and gives advice.
Families make an arrangement with a nanny to care for their children, usually by paying a monthly working fee. This is a very important issue, especially for working mothers.
Nannies should be people who know this job well. Childcare is a job that requires a lot of knowledge and is done by people who love to do their job. A good nanny should be reliable, patient, clean, develop herself, and be in a structure that can contribute to the development of the child. Nannies should also pay attention to the personal hygiene of children. A good nanny should report positive and negative situations to the family and give advice.
