Manny

Who are they?

A Manny is responsible for your child’s wellbeing while they are on duty. Your Manny will plan and organize daily and/or weekly activities both in and out of the home, depending on your personal requirements, to support your child’s learning and development. Your Manny will contribute to your child’s intellectual, physical and emotional development, while also providing them with the opportunity to quickly learn a second language, should this be a requirement.

Mannies offer sole charge or proxy parenting as well as working alongside you as parents, depending on your preferences. A Manny is often responsible for all nursery duties, cooking, and cleaning the rooms of the children they care for, however they do not usually partake in any other housekeeping duties. Mannies are the male equivalent to Nannies and would carry out all of the same duties.

Create a positive and happy environment

Mannies will provide your child with love and comfort, routine and good manners for the parents to feel at ease whilst they are otherwise engaged.

Working hours of a Manny

There are no set working hours for a Manny as each family tends to have a schedule that is more appropriate to their needs depending on their working hours and personal life. Mannies generally work between 40-50 hours per week over a period of 5-6 days. However, for some families and Mannies a rota schedule is more preferable, whereby the Manny will work for a certain period of time on and then a certain period of time off. This is more common overseas whereby families have a native English speaking Manny for two weeks and a native tongue nanny for two weeks so that the child’s language development is consistent in both languages.
