3 Things To Consider When Picking A Nanny For Your Children

May 25, 2020 by Annie

For many families, a nanny is a vital part of keeping things running functionally. But since entrusting your kids with another person is a very hard thing for parents to do, it can be a real challenge to find the right person to hire as your nanny and let into your home and the lives of your children.

To help make this endeavor a little easier to manage, here are three things to consider when picking a nanny for your children to ensure that you make the right choice.

Know What Your Needs Are

Not every family who needs a nanny will need that person to perform the same duties. Because of this, it’s vital that you know exactly what you want or need your nanny to be able to do in order to ensure that you’re finding someone who will fit the bill.

When creating a job description that you’ll use to help you find the right nanny, Kate Bayless, a contributor to Parents.com, advises that you make sure you include when and how often you’ll need someone, what duties or responsibilities they’ll have, and what type of qualifications you’re wanting someone to possess before you hire them. By writing an extensive job description that covers everything you want and need in a nanny, you’ll increase your chances of only interviewing those who are serious contenders and feel confident that they can give you what you need.

Do Your Research

Once you’ve narrowed down your search to a few potential candidates, it’s now up to you to do some research about those candidates in order to find which one could be a great fit for your family.

As you do your research, What To Expect recommends that you call and interview all of the references that your candidates give you as well as running a background check on anyone that you’re considering letting around your children on a regular basis and allowing into your home. During your reference calls, be sure to ask any questions you may think of or that you think could help you determine if this nanny would work well with your family.

Start On A Trial Basis

When you’re ready to hire someone as the nanny for your children, Kimberly DeMucha Kalil, a contributor to Parenting.com, shares that you may want to start them on a trial basis only.

During this trial run, try to be around the nanny as they interact with your kids. This will help you see if there are any issues that would become bigger problems later on and give you a much better idea of if this nanny will work with your family before you actually commit to hiring them.

If you’re wanting to hire a nanny to care for your children, consider using the tips mentioned above to help you hire the right professional for the job.

About Me

Hi! I'm Annie and I have 3 kids (all in their teens - yikes!). My mommy blog isn't all about lunches and DIY - it's also about humour. Like how my kids make fun of my texts as if I don't know how to use emojis (I DO!). Now that I have a bit more time - since my kids don't want to hang out with me (teenagers), I have taken up blogging.
