Nanny Job Description and Household Routines

About this document

What it’s for

A clear job description avoids misunderstandings about what the nanny is and is not expected to do – for example whether the role includes general housework, cooking for the family or caring for pets. The routines and house rules help a new nanny settle in and make sure the children receive consistent care.

When to use it

  • When advertising and recruiting
  • Attached to the contract of employment
  • When the children’s needs or the family’s routine changes

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

A complete, ready-to-use document with every section written, your details shown in [square brackets], and guidance notes explaining how to complete it.

How to complete it

  • Tick or edit the duties that apply
  • Complete the weekly routine and house rules with the nanny
  • Use the daily log for communication between parents and nanny

Key points to check

  • Make sure duties are realistic within the hours
  • Discuss any change in duties before making it
