Advantages & Disadvantages of being a Night Nanny
 
ADVANTAGES:

• You get free accommodation and free food for your trouble! Generally you will find that going overseas in order to do such a job, you will get all your accommodation supplied to you by your host family. This then gives you a great outlet in order to explore more of the country and really get a chance to see parts that you have always wanted to see. It also allows you to be working right in the place that you are staying, so that you won’t have to travel far at all to get to work!
• You get to work with children and experience their way of life in a different country! You will no doubt find that working with these kids will be an amazing experience that you will forever remember, and hopefully the children will remember you too!
• You get to stay up late and sleep in! It’s a great chance for you to really scope out a new way of sleeping and living.
• It’s a job that has the capability of taking you many places in Australia and the world! Always remember that when you consider the job of a night nanny as something you want to do in the future.
• You get to experience new cultures! If you are the type of person who loves to travel and go around the globe seeing all amounts of different things, then you should really think about becoming a night nanny.

 
DISADVANTAGES:

• You must always remain awake at night time to ensure the children have the best care. Given your position is called a ‘night nanny’ you can safely assume that the majority of your work will take place at night, so this can often make it difficult to people who aren’t used to adjusting their body clocks to suit the situation. It is a big error if you were to ever fall asleep on the job, so always make sure that you are capable of staying up for long hours when doing a night nanny job.
• You can sometimes get home sick. If you are travelling to another country and find yourself away from home for long periods of time, then it is quite easy to get home sick and miss your family.
