After School Nanny roles are typically a minimum of 5 hours per shift in one continuous block.

Some families require split-hour arrangements. In these cases, the role is generally structured across a minimum of 7–9 hours per day, depending on household needs.

Many families engaging an afternoon nanny will have the nanny begin while the children are still in care or at school. During this time, the nanny may assist with light household duties before school pick-up.

The nanny’s main responsibilities include:

• Picking children up from school or daycare
• Transporting children home or to after-school activities
• Providing children with downtime at home
• Meal preparation
• Homework supervision and assistance
• Light household duties related to the children
• Providing engaging play and activities

The after-school nanny must be reliable, punctual, and able to manage the after-school routine efficiently. When parents return home from work, the key afternoon tasks have been completed, allowing families to enjoy quality time with their children.

For families seeking additional hours or extended responsibilities, the role can often be expanded. This may include combining after school care with broader household support or developing into a full-day Nanny Housekeeper arrangement depending on the family’s needs.
