The nanny profession offers families a new option for solving childcare problems, allowing parents to bring competent childcare into the home. Unlike a maid or housekeeper, the nanny is an integral part of the family. The new addition of a nanny changes the family makeup; but, the integrity of the family must be maintained. This guide is designed to help nannies understand child development, behavior, and guidance, and to assist both parents and nannies in forming a new optimal family make-up that ensures the safety and protection of the children, encouraging them to flourish in this new enriching environment.
