Study Notes
Establishing Boundaries as a Nanny
- Before taking on a nanny role, it's essential to establish your boundaries to avoid conflicts and misunderstandings.
- Consider what tasks you're comfortable with and which ones you're not, such as handling all family dishes or only those related to the child/ren.
- Determine your willingness to do laundry, use your own car for the child/ren, and work beyond agreed-upon hours.
- Research nanny-family boundaries to ensure you're aware of common expectations and limitations.
- During the interview process, pay attention to the family's needs and expectations and use this information to communicate your boundaries.
- Define most boundaries upfront to avoid misunderstandings, with additional boundaries potentially surfacing later.
- Focus on establishing boundaries in three main areas: the household, the child/ren, and the parent/s to ensure a mutual understanding.
- Effective communication is key, so ask about the family's expectations and limitations to ensure a smooth working relationship.
