Responsibilities

Love the child well, make his days fun, and eventually feel less like someone who comes to work and more like someone everyone is genuinely happy to see walk through the door.
Read books.
Turn on music and have a kitchen dance party.
Get on the floor and play.
Go for walks.
Find a library story time.
Meet another nanny and baby for a playdate.
Get outside.
Head to the pool.
Introduce him to new places, people, and experiences as he grows.
Help with children’s laundry, some parent laundry, bottles, vacuuming, keeping his spaces organized, making his meals as he grows, keeping an eye on baby supplies, occasional errands, and the everyday tidying that prevents a household with a baby from looking quite as much like a household with a baby.
Notice if they're down to the last three diapers, tell someone before diaper number three.
If the baby is happily sleeping and there's a load of laundry ready to switch, switch it.
If toys have somehow migrated into every room of the house, help them find their way home.
Notice, anticipate, and take a few things off the mother's plate.
Occasional trip outside or refill of the water bowl for the dog.
Communicate effectively with the family.
Spend time around Grandparents and tag-team with Mom.
Learn the child's quirks, celebrate his milestones, know which song currently gets the biggest smile, and become another safe person in his world.
Be open to traveling with the family, both to Florida and possibly internationally with advance notice.
