Summary
A profession that provides care for children's daily needs, play, discipline, and living support at home or the client's residence.
Description
A nanny is a specialist who primarily handles children's school pick-up and drop-off, care for meals, toileting, and sleep, play and learning assistance, discipline, daily rhythm management, and safety assurance in individual households. Depending on parents' requests, they broadly cover schedule creation, accompanying outings, sharing household rules, and initial response in emergencies. They create care plans tailored to the family environment, provide play and educational support according to the child's developmental stage, and support safe and secure growth in collaboration with guardians.
