Within the range of nanny types (further described later part of this article) that are often found in Calgary, live-in nannies are considered as the best. Simply because live-in nannies can offer variety of services that other nannies would not able to. Live-in nannies stay in home so available in any minute. This can be crucial in case of an emergency. (What if you are asked to come to office immediately or there is a sudden change of time and place of the office meetings, schedules etc.) If a parent is in a potential risk of some illnesses or health conditions (heart conditions, asthma etc. Hopefully not) it is recommended to have a live-in nanny rather than a live-out nanny. Also live-in nannies are capable of easily aiding child care duties as well as household work.
A live-in nanny plays important role on your home and family. Without having her services it may almost impossible to manage day-to-day work. Therefore the live-in nanny should be properly managed. To do so, it is very important to keep things in order from the beginning. Give the nanny a well descriptive document on what are the expectations and what tasks to take care, at which time. May be a time-table for each day of the week. Also if there are any regulations, keep in mind to let the nanny knows those and having it as a written description is better. Appreciate good work of the nanny and respect her privacy. It can be disappointing for the nanny when appreciation is not coming back for all the hard and good work that has been done. Also there should be an allocated time and arrangements for the nanny to enjoy her personal life. For an example to meet family, friends, partner etc. In those cases make sure to be specific about, whether the visitors are allowed to come home or not, and about time arrangements. Ask her to let you know any kind of those future arrangements well ahead in time.
Except for live-in nannies there are other type of nannies also available in Calgary, such as live-out nanny, babysitter, on call nanny and more. But as it is mentioned above live-in nannies have more to offer than other nannies. However live-in nannies may cost more, therefore determine if there is a requirement of having a live-in nanny. For an example a mother staying and working in home-office may need an extra helping hand but not a live-in nanny who stays whole time in the home.
