What are the pros and cons of hiring a very young nanny (20-22 years old)?

Younger nannies often bring high energy and enthusiasm, which is particularly helpful when a child becomes mobile and requires constant supervision or active play. However, they may initially require more guidance and training to handle daily tasks and develop the patience required for matured caregiving. While they are often happy to take direction, parents should remain present initially to ensure they are handling the infant safely and effectively, as they are still developing professional responsibility.
