Nanny - A nanny is employed by a family in either a live-in or live-out basis. The function of a nanny is to essentially be responsible for all care of the children in the home in a largely unsupervised setting. Duties are typically focused on childcare and any household chores or tasks related to the children. A nanny may or may not have any formal training; however, many have significant actual experience. A nanny typically works full-time of at least 40 hours a week. Most live out nannies are paid between $12-$20/hr depending on their experience level. Live in nannies are paid between $400 and $800/week plus room and board (depending on experience).
Baby Nurse/Infant Specialist - A baby nurse/infant specialist is an experienced nanny with very extensive training in newborn care. She has extensive knowledge of babies, feeding and scheduling. She supports breastfeeding and bottle-feeding. She is there for nighttime feedings while the new mother gets the rest she needs. If the baby is breast-feeding, the nurse will bring the baby to the mother, help position the baby and carry the baby back to the nursery when the baby is done.
A baby nurse will also organize the nursery and is familiar with an apnea monitor, feeding systems and other medical equipment. She can discern problems like jaundice and reflux and alert you if these things occur. If the baby has problems with colic and has fussy periods, she knows the techniques for reducing baby discomfort and getting them to calm down. A baby nurse will do the baby's laundry every day and help with light housekeeping and often help with meals. She will teach you to change diapers, bathe and feed the baby, or she will do it all for you. She will hold and cradle the baby throughout the day, but knows when it’s time for you to be alone with your new family. Most baby nurses are paid between $20-$35/hr depending on their nursing backgrounds and experience.
Tutor - A private instructor that tutors your child(ren) in your home. This person has the training and background in the subject(s) to provide correct instruction.

Housekeepers usually work alone, but should the needs of the home demand multiple staff, they may work as a team with other housekeepers. Most housekeepers are paid between $12-$20/hr depending on their educational background and experience.
