What is a granny nanny?

Hiring a Granny Nanny

It's really hard to make the decision to put a parent in a nursing home. It's one thing if you show up for a visit one day and discover them squeezing toothpaste into the toaster. At that point, yeah, something's got to give. On the other hand, if your parents have all of their faculties, it's especially painful to remove them from their home. Sometimes, however, it's necessary. Maybe one or both parents have a chronic illness, cancer, glaucoma, diabetes, or some other medical condition that needs monitoring. Sometimes it's just a simple inability to manage the upkeep of the family home. Whatever the reason, moving a parent from their home is hard.

If you have a nanny suite or an extra room in your house, it's not a bad idea to move your parent into your home. Unless you've got a nursing degree or happen to be a doctor, you may not feel qualified to monitor your parents' condition. That's because you're not qualified! You need to hire a granny nanny.

Granny nanny placement agencies match full or part time nannies with families who need medical monitoring. Granny nannies are trained professionals with HHC (Home Health Care) or CNA (Certified Nursing Aides) designations. The title that comes with granny nannies generally means you'll be paying more money. However, hiring a granny nanny for the summer when you'll be away on vacation, or part time throughout the year might be all you need.
