Finding Your Fit

For many parents, finding the best nanny is a crucial decision in ensuring the well-being and happiness of their children.

Before you start your search, it’s essential to clearly define your childcare needs and expectations.

Consider factors such as:

Hours and schedule: Will you need a full-time, part-time, or occasional nanny? Consider your typical schedule and be sure to factor in buffer time for work emergencies and commutes.

Specific skills or qualifications: Are there any specific skills, qualifications, or certifications you require from a nanny, such as a background in early childhood education or experience with special needs children?

Household duties: Do you expect your nanny to perform additional household tasks or to have any non-childcare responsibilities, such as family meal preparation or running errands?

Childcare philosophy: Are there specific parenting styles or philosophies you’d like your nanny to align with?

Role in family: Are you seeking to have a formal relationship with your nanny or are you expecting her to become an extended member of your family?

Having a clear understanding of your requirements will help you draft an accurate job description that will focus your search on nannies who truly meet your hiring criteria.

When choosing a nanny, finding someone you trust and feel comfortable with is key. Trust your instincts and consider how well the candidate fits into your family dynamics.  Remember that a strong personal connection and a shared childcare philosophy can be just as important as qualifications and experience.
