Analyze What Is Required

It is important what is parents’ requirements like if they want a night nanny, live-in nanny, a part-time nanny, etc. Make a list of requirements that are negotiable and non-negotiable.

Budget

It is not necessary to go all board and take tension about how much nannies will charge and whether parents will be able to afford it. Decide the budget prior to interviewing nannies and explore options in that range. Or even parents can negotiate over the hourly rate too.

Don’t forget to consider things like expenses for activities, annual raises, and bonuses. Parents should make sure to include taxes as well

The following three-step process is recommended:

• First, consider all the factors that might affect the nanny’s rate.
• Then research the hourly rates in the area. Since the rates might vary from place to place.

Interviewing:

Will interviewing a potential candidate make sure to ask all the questions that might be important before hiring like childcare experience, why they left the previous job, why they choose this field as the profession etc.

Don’t hold back on awkward, blunt, or direct questions, as this will only cause problems down the line. Instead, be open and approach what you expect, so that you are both on the same page. At the same time, be just as keen to answer any questions they may have of you, so you can truly focus on the best partnership possible.

Check References

Always call the provided references and ask about them did other families have good experiences with this nanny? are there any red flags to watch out for? Sometimes to make a CV look for impressive candidates add fake references too, so it is important to make sure that the child is in safe hands.

Make the offer

At the end of the interview with the potential sitter, make an offer with them, and if they agree with the parent’s terms sign the contract helping them to understand the responsibilities and parents to have the best nanny services.
