Full-Time Nannies

Full-time nannies provide consistent, professional care—becoming a trusted part of your household. At Hunny Nanny Agency, we match families in Cincinnati, Cleveland, and beyond with experienced caregivers who bring stability, nurturing, and reliability every day.

Duties

Full-time nannies provide consistent, daily care for children while supporting the household in ways that make family life run more smoothly. Their primary focus is on the children, but their role often extends to light tasks related to childcare. Typical responsibilities include:

  • Daily Childcare: Managing routines like meals, naps, playtime, school prep, and bedtime.

  • Development & Enrichment: Engaging children in age-appropriate activities, outings, and educational play to support growth and learning.

  • Transportation: Driving children to school, activities, and appointments.

  • Child-Related Household Tasks: Preparing meals, tidying play areas, organizing children’s belongings, and doing their laundry.

  • Parent Partnership: Communicating regularly with parents, reinforcing family values, and adapting as children’s needs change.

Many full-time nannies also bring specialized skills—such as infant care expertise, homework support, bilingual abilities, or experience with special needs—making them a true extension of your family’s support system.

A full-time nanny typically works 30–50 hours per week, depending on your family’s needs. Most families create a consistent routine so both the nanny and children thrive with structure. Common schedules include:

  • Standard Weekday Coverage:
    Monday–Friday, 8 AM–6 PM (or similar)

  • Shift-Work Families (like physicians):
    Flexible start/end times, sometimes early mornings, evenings, or split shifts

  • Travel & Occasional Needs:
    Some full-time nannies are open to occasional weekends, overnights, or travel with the family (arranged in advance and compensated accordingly)

The exact schedule is tailored to your family and clearly outlined in the work agreement to ensure consistency and peace of mind for everyone.
