When hiring a
nanny you will definitely want to have references and knowledge of
their past work history. A criminal background check is also
advisable. This process is imperative and not to be rushed. Remember,
he or she is taking care of your most precious loved ones. Time can be
minimized by narrowing your choices down through telephone interviews.
If there is any doubt in your mind or you have that parent instinctive
feeling in any manner, then rule that person out immediately. Our
instincts, especially regarding our children, are usually pretty
reliable.
Face-to-face interviews should be conducted once you have narrowed
down your choices. You will definitely want to consider someone who
has a longstanding history of child care with limited job change in
the past. Someone whose records show frequent changes in employment is
not recommended. Notice if the person you are interviewing is
comfortable and at ease in your presence. Do they appear to have a
good knowledge of children and their behaviors? Do they appear to be
emotionally mature and stable themselves?
Once you find that perfect nanny you will need to outline
expectations, rules, and salary/bonus information. You will want to
offer your nanny a comparative rate, being fair and honest.
Establishing a good relationship with your nanny is essential.
Finding that perfect nanny takes a great deal of time and patience.
Use your judgment and allow some slow downs in the process. The time
that you take now will be worth the wait once you have that comfort of
knowing that your children are in good hands.
