What Are The Things To Do To Hire A Qualified and Trustworthy Nanny
A perfect nanny is not a person who takes care the child simply and leaves when her working time is up. Apart from that she should have a good relationship (connectivity/ emotional bond) with child and parents. Moreover that she has to fulfill all the need of the child whenever parents are not available and helps to develop all the skills and behavior of the child. So hiring a nanny is the most important process on which parents should put their concentration, efforts and time. However, if the nanny cannot be trusted, parents will not be able to work comfortably since they are not sure whether the child is not safe with the nanny or not.
So parents should follow well organized nanny hiring process and spot the professional child caregiver. There are many methods can be used to find a perfect and trustworthy nanny in a busy city like Calgary (in this article we take Calgary as an example of a busy city). Once parents get responses for their advertisement online or offline they have to filter the nannies based on several criteria to much their requirements. Once the candidates are filtered, they may arrange a phone interview with the selected prospective nannies. It is recommended to go ahead with the nannies in Calgary first rather than checking out with nannies in out of Ontario. Because having a nanny who lives near would be helpful in many occasions (specially on any emergency/urgent situations). After the phone interview, further nannies can be short-listed and it would be the best time to do the background checks and other verifications about the nanny. Some parents ignore the part of background checks – by so, they put their children and their family at risk. It is vital to run the background check for the potential nanny candidate before going further.
Further, the nanny candidates who have clear records as per their background check reports can be called up on for a face to face interview to explore more in deeper about the nanny, her expectations, ability of her to fulfill the job requirements, behavior etc. If the first face to face interview would be arranged on a public place (a coffee shop, a pizza center or a shopping mall), that is better. Because, you do not know about the stranger, so it is better avoid presence of a stranger on your home. In case everything will have gone smoothly during the first interview, the second interview can be arranged at your home along with the child – this will help more to understand on how she deals with the child etc.
Hope these tips on nanny hiring process help you to hire the best nanny in your area, let’s say Calgary.
