What is Proxy Parenting?
What does a Proxy Parent do?
The oxford dictionary defines “Proxy” as “A person authorised to act on behalf of another”, therefore the term Proxy Parenting is a nanny that is authorised to act on behalf of the parent.
In short, Proxy parenting is when the parents are away from home and need somebody to take over the role of “parent” for a short period of time, be it a weekend or 2 weeks. This means a nanny steps in and provides care 24 hours a day. The nanny will take over all parental duties, preparing meals, providing developmentally appropriate activities, the school run etc
Who is it for?
There are many reasons why parents may choose a nanny to proxy parent, some examples include:
- Away for a business trip
- Live far away from close family and relatives
- Family or friends may not be capable of taking care of the children for long periods of time due to age or illness
- Parents want a weekend break or holiday
- Single Parents
- Working on location
- Parents live in a different country
