Mummy nanny's

[Ashley595]

Just wondering if there are any mummy nannies out there that could give me some advice as to how to start up, I am looking at nannying so I can stay at home with my son until he is school age. I have worked in childcare previously and hold a blue cars and first aid certificate.

What is a mummy nanny?

[rainbow road]

A nanny who also has her own child/ren who come to work with her (or work goes to them). I'm going to mummy nanny when I have a babe!

:wave:
I was a Mummy Nanny for 2 of the families I met through mother group. When they went back to work (around 7 months from memory) I offered my services and we came to an agreement on pay/hours etc.
Try putting up an add in your local health nurse centre/library/chemist, anywhere other mum's might visit
Or place an add in your local paper/Melbourne child/gumtree
I did it for about 2 1/2 years then we all wanted our kids to attend a 3 year old kinder program. Might do it again with DS2 while DS1 is at school this year ;)

Genuine question for mummy nanny's... How do you manage to treat all the kids "equally" ifywim? Wouldn't it be instinct to make sure your own child was ok/happy before the others? I'm honestly curious as its one of the concerns I would have, although is an option we are considering. Thanks!

From my personal experience I have always made sure the other child in my care is attended too first.
My DS is in his own home with his mummy, the other child is in a new home without his/her mummy. Whether its a nappy change, meal time or sleep time, I would always care for the other child first. In regard to discipline when they get older, I was "stricter" with DS than with the other child.
In all honesty I would treat them equally most of the time but sometimes I would "favour" the other child iykwim. Just been super caring to their need (hard to explain ;))
