school help: What do you call a nanny when the parents are gone 24/7 ? - Help.com

What do you call a nanny when the parents are gone 24/7 ?

I will be a nanny for single dad who is going overseas. This is going to be for the entire upcoming school year.

Are there any other titles for this position? Even “full time nanny” does not really describe it.

$3000 a month and $2000 in expenses. She goes to school during the day for a few hours. I will also be taking a class at the local college which he is paying for.
I think I am being paid very well =]

But now about the title? any common titles. Like “foster parent” but see I am not a foster parent so I will not use it but that is an example of common title for a person in that situation.

are you looking for this title to describe what you do to others?
because foster parent isnt right but i mean you would almost be an older sibling to her

Guess the shortest I can get it without having someone go “you’re what?” is

“I am her temporary guardian while her father is overseas”

I will soon be breathing that statement.
