The key difference between a Nanny-Housekeeper and a Housekeeper-Nanny lies in the priority of duties. In essence, the difference is in the emphasis and time allocation given to childcare versus housekeeping.
A Nanny-Housekeeper is mostly childcare duties with only light housekeeping, as childcare is a priority.
A Nanny-Housekeeper role involves the core duties of a nanny, such as caring for children, engaging in age-appropriate activities, preparing meals for them, and ensuring their well-being.
The Nanny-Housekeeper's focus is on the children's needs and development, with housekeeping duties integrated to support this focus.
A Housekeeper-Nanny is more housekeeping duties and is usually in households where the children are at full-time school. Both roles are usually taken up by those experienced in being both a Nanny and a Housekeeper, who are multi-skilled.
A Housekeeper-Nanny’s role involves a wider range of household tasks, such as cleaning, laundry for the entire household, grocery shopping, cooking for the family, and other household management tasks.
The Housekeeper-Nanny's primary responsibility is to maintain the household to a high standard, with childcare duties being a supporting element.
