| |
|
| We know that hiring a nanny can be complicated and fraught with difficulties. Choosing someone to look after the most treasured of people, your children, is very important to parents, so we’ve laid out a process that is clear and simple. Following all the stages in this process carefully can help prevent many problems and misunderstandings down the road. With the right candidate, you and your family will spend less time stating the obvious to your nanny and spend more time enjoying the benefits of having. |

| Working interview |
|
The purpose of the next face-to-face meeting is to watch how candidate
behaves with your family. Set a convenient time when you will be at home
together with your loved ones, and again notice whether or not you can
rely on the applicant to arrive on time.
During the first part of the meeting, let the candidate watch you as you
interact with your family, observing the dynamic, where things are
located, and the overall rhythm of the household.
Then ask the candidate to take over, while you stay to help and watch
the way they behave to each other. Check the chemistry between the carer
and your family, reactions to everyday situations, and try to ask
yourself the important questions: Can you leave this person alone with
your baby or children? Can she do it? Will it work? Is she active or
passive? Watch carefully on all levels: emotional and practical, until
you are satisfied you have seen everything you need.
Always remember that your presence will have an impact, both on the
carer and on your family. So after a while, avoid watching overtly, help
your candidate feel at ease, and this will help you get a much clearer
picture of her suitability.
When the meeting is over, pay her for her time and say that you’ll be in
touch.
