There are different types of childcare jobs with various requirements, including nannies who work full-time or part-time for a single family or agency. Part-time jobs can involve filling in for regular nannies or working in resorts, cruise ships, or with new families. Agencies often fill new baby positions.
There are many types of childcare jobs – nannies, preschool teachers, daycare teachers, teaching assistants, after-school program workers and nannies – all with different preparatory, educational, certification and licensure requirements, which in the US depend on the state in which they are employed. The specific term nanny usually refers to a nanny who works full-time with a single family while caring for one or more children in the family home. Nannies can be self-employed or assigned by an agency. Some live with the families they work for, while others commute to the family home on a daily basis. Most nanny positions are full-time, but there are some part-time jobs including off-duty, resort work, and new mom positions.
Many part-time nanny jobs involve filling in regular time off, vacation, and vacation for a family nanny. As with full-time nanny positions, these part-time nanny jobs can be filled by self-employed workers or assigned by a nanny agency. Ideally, a part-time nanny would be a familiar figure for the children she cares for and knowledgeable about the family’s specific routines and her employer’s expectations. If this part-time position is filled by an agency representative, there will usually be a specific form of family orientation needed to introduce the worker to the home and the children of the home. In cases where a self-employed nanny holds the position, proper guidance will need to be addressed by employers and the full-time nanny.
Other types of part-time babysitting jobs provide services as part of the amenities offered to guests by some resorts and cruise lines. These part-time nanny jobs are few in number with stiff competition for available spaces. For these reasons, significant experience and education, certifications and licensing can help a prepared nanny win this type of position before a less qualified candidate. Resort seasonal work may actually require full-time hours during the resort inbound season, but these are considered part-time babysitting jobs as the length of work is often measured in weeks or months. Employment at resorts and cruise lines often requires more flexibility on the nanny’s part, as well as the ability to quickly relate to your charges.
Part-time babysitting jobs are also commonly available in families welcoming a new baby into the home. Whether the nanny is employed to help a new mother adjust to the baby or intends to supervise older children in the household, the extra set of hands can be extraordinarily helpful for the family. Most “new baby” nanny positions are filled by agencies in order to ensure proper training and safety checks.
