This mod overhauls the Nanny service, by turning it into a Teen/Elder career you can find normally via job finding. Sims employed in this career will be the nannies you can hire from other families from your phone -> Services menu.
In addition, the service itself and its autonomy was completely rewritten, which means that they should be more competent at their job. Any original nannies you have hired before installing this mod will be removed and their schedules canceled.

In addition, the service itself and its autonomy was completely rewritten, which means that they should be more competent at their job. Any original nannies you have hired before installing this mod will be removed and their schedules canceled.
Features and Info
- Nannies will now potty train toddlers.
- Nannies should now be more smart with baby bottles. They shouldn't pointlessly take a ton out of the fridge to put them on the floor.
- Nannies should be a bit more smart about autonomously leaving when an adult Sim finally comes back home.
- A cooking skill of at least 3 is recommended for your playable nannies, so that they can make decent meals for children.
- If no playable nannies are available to hire, 3 teens will be automatically generated for the job with randomized cooking skills.
- Your schedule is actually tracked now, getting promoted/demoted/fired/etc. will adjust your scheduled nanny accordingly.
- The career includes chance cards and names/descriptions for each promotion level.
- If you wish to hire a different nanny, click on your nanny and "Fire" them when they show up to work or click on the "Never mind" button when you're looking for a nanny over the phone without a schedule active.
Custom Career Info and Promotion Levels
The new Nanny career is a 3-level Teen/Elder job.
Level 1 : "Babysitter"
"What will it be today? From smart little children that can take care of themselves while you watch someone else's TV and pretend to be paying attention to them to triplets that keep soiling their diapers every half hour while their parents are out partying it out until 3 AM the next day. Good luck out there, you'll probably need it. Or just keep taking multiple baby bottles out of the fridge and putting them on the floor, I'm sure that'll work."
Daily Wage: §60
Work Days: Thursday, Friday and Sunday
Work Hours: 15:00 to 19:00
Level 2 : "Nanny"
"You've proven that you can handle kids and now some parents have entrusted you to not only take care of their little ones, but to also form a bond and teach them life skills while you're at it. There's more work to do, but it also means better pay and more stable income."
Daily Wage: §75
Work Days: Monday, Thursday and Friday
Work Hours: 15:00 to 19:00
Promotion Requirements: 1 Cooking Skill, 1 Logic, 1 Cleaning and 2 Family Friends
Level 3 : "Dependable Caretaker"
"You essentially get paid to be at home now, except with more diaper changing and not actually at your own home. You've won the parents and the little ones over and now you're completely in charge when the adults are away. Do some chores and change some diapers for a couple hours then turn the game console on, sit back and relax for the rest of the day."
Daily Wage: §110
Work Days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
Work Hours: 15:00 to 22:00
Promotion Requirements: 3 Cooking Skill, 1 Charisma, 1 Logic, 3 Cleaning and 2 Family Friends

Tuning and Setup
- If you don't have Clean UI installed you might want to remove the "zld_Nannies/zzld_nannies_cleanui.package" file to have the icons for the career and service in the style of the vanilla Maxis UI instead.
- The "zld_Nannies/zld_customservice_nanny.package" file contains a "Nanny Tuning" BCON file. If opened with SimPE, you can change the "Prioritize Playables?" setting from 1 (Yes) to 0 (No). If this is set to 0 then it will always put generated teens into the hire-able nanny pool, rather than only choosing playables if available.

Hi! I'm Lazy Duchess :)
Some further elaboration on my TOU:
Please direct to my original uploads as much as possible if you want to redistribute my mods, ideally link directly to the original upload so that people can stay up to date and get them directly from me.
I’ve made updates for or transformative works out of old resources (tools, mods, etc.) myself. I’ve made them with the intention to help preserve and maintain resources that are still useful to the community today, but whose creators have moved on.
