How do you address the changing role of a nanny?<\/p>\n<p>A good\u00a0way to deal with this transition is to sit down with your nanny and discuss the changing needs of the family and child.\u00a0 If you need to shift the work to more household chores, you should discuss this with the nanny and see how amenable she is to the change.\u00a0 There may be a few chores that she feels comfortable doing, and a few that she does not.\u00a0 Discuss the issue together and come to a mutual agreement of what is acceptable.\u00a0 Then you can sit down and write a new <a title=\"Nanny Job Descriptions\" href=\"\/household\/nanny-job-descriptions\/\" target=\"_blank\">job description<\/a>.\u00a0 Talking things over and understanding what is acceptable to both parties can help you to retain that valued employee.\u00a0 And always stress that the children are still the primary responsibility and that if the housework needs to be left for a day due to the children\u2019s needs, so be it.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is also important to remember that as\u00a0your family\u2019s needs change, it\u2019s possible\u00a0you may need to make a change in child care.\u00a0 The\u00a0nanny who is wonderful with an infant may not be the right person for a toddler.\u00a0 The nanny who took such incredible care of your first child may not be the right fit for your second, or to look after two children at once.\u00a0 There are times when a change in nanny is the best way to get the right help for your family.<\/p>\n<p>For questions and more information, please <a href=\"\/household\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\">contact<\/a> GTM&#8217;s Household Employment Experts at (888) 432-7972.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a nanny\u2019s charges age, the nanny\u2019s role and responsibilities will change.\u00a0Obviously when you have a young child \u2013 an infant or a toddler \u2013 the nanny will need to concentrate their time and attention on the child, attending to\u00a0their physical needs and interacting with them.\u00a0 But as children age and become more independent, the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[85,78],"tags":[31,41,42,45,46],"class_list":["post-5650","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-household-employer-policies","category-retaining-employees","tag-household-employer","tag-nannies","tag-nanny-payroll","tag-parents","tag-personnel-practices"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Changing Role of a Nanny - GTM Payroll Services<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"As children age and become more independent, the duties of the nanny need to change as well.
