Will AI replace Nannies?

Lower risk

Baseline AI displacement risk for Nannies, aggregated from 5 research sources.

What this score means

Nannies is among the least exposed roles in Personal Services. Most of what the job involves still sits outside what current AI can do, even as the tools around it keep changing. At 22 out of 100 it sits close to the Personal Services average of 24. Across the 5 sources behind this baseline, individual estimates run from 5 to 35, so the score is a weighted consensus rather than any single figure.

The number is a consensus estimate for the typical version of the role, built from published academic and industry research scored occupation by occupation. It is not a prediction about any individual. How scoring works
