When you have worked as a nanny as long as I have you learn what baby products are worth their weight in gold. Through the years I’ve learned the right baby gear can save my sanity. These seven essentials are my ride-or-die tools of the trade. Trust me, you don’t want to care for a baby without them!
1. Diapers
I like senstive disposible diapers, especially Pampers Swaddlers Sensitive Diapers. But many parents and nannies prefer cloth diapers. When using cloth diapers AlvaBaby cloth diapers are my go to brand.
2. Wet Wipes
Not only are baby wipes great for cleaning baby tushies, but for wiping up messes, even for school-aged children. They are so useful for cleaning hands, wiping up spills, and cleaning messy faces after eating for children of all ages. I love sensitive Pampers Sensitive Wipes I also like WaterWipes Unscented Baby Wipes.
3. Baby Bottles
Even when mothers breastfeed they need to have baby bottles so their caregivers can help feed their infants. Click here to see what nannies say are their favorite baby bottles.
4. Burp Cloths
Infants spit up. Nannies and au pairs not only need extra baby clothes on hand, they should carry an extra clean shirt for themselves as well. After using dozens of brands of baby burp cloths my favorite by far are Aden + Anais 100% Cotton Muslin Burp Cloths. They are made of lightweight muslin that is super absorbant and dry quickly. I also love that they are much bigger than other burp cloths I’ve tried over the years.
5. Bouncer or Side Swing
Having baby bouncers are essential for nannies that have to accomplish tasks around the house. Some baby bouncers have a gentle vibration you can choose to turn on that calms babies down. I love using side swaying swings. This Graco Swing is very popular choice on Amazon.
6. Pacifiers and Teethers
Newborns have a sucking reflex. Pacifiers calm fussy babies who need to suck. Babies also constantly put things in their mouth. I recommend buying at least two since you will need to be washing one all the time. I also really like these teethers for when they start teething Silicone Teething Toys and Original Teething Egg.
7. Baby Monitors
Baby monitors are essential tools for nannies because they help ensure a child’s safety while allowing the nanny to multitask effectively. Whether the child is napping or playing in another room, monitors provide real-time audio and video, helping nannies stay alert to the child’s needs without constantly being in the same room. They also offer peace of mind to parents, showing that their child’s well-being is always a priority—even when they’re not home. Learn more about what baby monitor to choose by clicking here.
