Nanny for a child – how to find and choose

This question often arises in parents, enthusiastic (or loaded) work, or just for those who want to relax for some time. I immediately want to note that there is nothing wrong with the nanny, and phrases like: “Here’s a mother! He does not want to follow the child, he leads someone else’s person to the house ” – just another stereotype.

For example, if a mother or father of a child has a desire to go to billiards, then not to take a baby with him in a stuffy smoking room! Moreover, there are a lot of people who can easily frighten a little man. In this case, the nanny will be a great solution.

How to choose a nanny for a child? This is very important, because she is sitting with a child, teach him, to care, and you communicate with an employee. The very first thing you want to advise is to pick up several options, do not grab the first person who was found. You can use a free search for people on specialized sites where you can find a person by last name (if you heard about a good nanny, but you do not have any information and contacts besides the name). What is easy to get is rarely good and suitable.

The second – look for the “golden mean”. A nanny who knows how to talk only on non -normative vocabulary, will definitely not suit you. And the girl who, in her twenty, speaks of the five higher educations and knowledge of ten foreign languages, is as if she lies. Remember that everything that is too good is most often just a lie.

Focus on the nanny that your child will like. This is the most important, because in the absence of a “contact” between the nanny and the baby, they will not work out of communication (or even mutual hostility will arise).

When interviewing (or communication) with a girl, offer her several situations in which she needs to make a choice. Tell us about the characteristics of the child, habits, favorite toys, etc.P. If at the same time she will be terribly bored, then when working with your baby her heart will get entered the same feelings. She must love her work, be interested in the development of her student. If the nanny loves children, then you will notice this at the first minutes of communication about the kids.

Before entering a stranger to a child, try to imitate the girl’s work (that is, invite her to walk with him in the park). But so that she does not understand that this is a test! Tell her that she is accepted and give a small amount (which you are not sorry to pay in a day or two work). Its first task will be to go to the park with the child (to the hospital, to the grandmother, etc.P.). Immediately watch the nanny from the side and then the installation of cameras in the apartment (which is very popular, although expensive) you will not need.

But remember: the most important thing is the desire of an employee to find a common language with a child and her love for children.
