Here are some advices from Nanny in London, one of the best Nanny agencies in UK to select the best candidate as nanny for your baby.
NANNY AGENCIES:
For a wide range for your selection, just get registered with few nanny agencies which are providing the babysitters and nannies for the children with experience and good communication skills. If you are going to select a nanny through a reference, then make sure that you must do the complete enquiry about the candidate.
TRIAL RUN:
As you can’t get any feel for someone in a short while or in just a single interview. You must go for lots of interviewing sessions and let the best one come to you by trial and run. You can terminate any of you selection in three months without any hard personal feelings, which will be good both of the sides.
EXPERIENCE:
One needs enough maturity to handle and take proper care of a child along with patience. You must select your option for a nanny of age around late 20s to early 35s. You should never choose an au pair to take care for your child who is under five.
SETTTING UP GROUND RULES:
As the first interview is just to clear up your mind regarding your choice of a nanny for your baby, the second one is for the finer details. You can ask some personal questions as well like, how do you feel about smoking? Are you going to set the rules for children or you are comfortable to take care of the discipline at home by the nanny herself? What about the confidentiality agreement? If you set some high rules you will lose a good nanny for your children.
HOUSEWORK
A nanny shouldn’t be getting the duster out for marks on the TV but she should wash the children’s clothes and keep the high chair clean. A nanny is tied up with the children, she’s not a cleaner. If you expect her to do housework, make it abundantly clear at the interview or hire an au pair.
There are some more important issues like holidays, long working hours, keeping a day book, food and other expanses, which will be discussed in this second interview.
The secret for keeping your nanny happy is to increase her salary every year by some percent.
