Do newborn nannies have special skills? Caring for a newborn can be a little different than caring for children in the later stages of infancy. Although newborns are much more fragile than older children, being a newborn nanny does not necessarily require super powers.

Nanny duties for a newborn may require a little more care and patience.
Some nannies may have more experience working with newborns, which can be an advantage!
Once your baby is no longer a newborn, there may be much more time for play and supervision in your nanny's daily routine - especially once your baby starts crawling and walking!
Nanny duties for a baby
A nanny's duties can vary and extend beyond home child care. As we mentioned, it is important to define duties in advance so that both the nanny and the parents know what is expected while the child is in the nanny's care. Here are some duties a nanny may have.
Preparing bottles or complementary foods
На ранних стадиях развития важно знать график кормления ребенка и как правильно подогревать бутылочку. По мере того как ребенок становится старше и знакомится с твердой пищей, няня может готовить несколько блюд в течение дня. Няня должна иметь четкое представление о пищевой аллергии и предпочтениях семьи, когда дело доходит до приема пищи.
Bathing
Whether it's a spill or bath time, babysitters are usually required to bathe a child. A babysitter should know what temperature of water is safe, what products to use, and how to bathe a child safely.
Daily routine
During naps and bedtime, it will be the nanny's job to soothe the baby, preparing him for a sound sleep. Taking a pacifier with you on your walks can help you relax while sleeping away from home.
Changing diapers
Changing diapers will be an important part of a nanny's babysitting duties. Having a portable diaper changing stand in a Tushbaby or Totebaby Totebaby carrier will help the nanny be ready for a change no matter where she is. The Tushbaby changing mat is easy to wash and folds up to fit in your back pocket, because, heck, that doesn't happen.
Cleaning up after a child
Caring for a child can come with a lot of mess, whether it's toys left behind from play, food scraps, or spilled liquids. A nanny is usually responsible for making sure parents don't leave behind any messes that may have occurred during the day.
Planning lessons
A nanny may spend a lot of time with a child, who needs to be engaged and encouraged to develop in a healthy way. Planning activities at different stages may look different, so the nanny should be prepared to ensure that activities are age appropriate.
Other household chores
Each family creates an individual schedule.
Depending on the agreed upon duties, a nanny may perform a variety of household duties such as washing dishes, cleaning, laundry, and more. Performing these duties while caring for a child can be challenging.
