How to choose a nanny for your child?


How to choose a nanny for your child? Sooner or later, before any mom decide to go back to work or to raise a child? Unfortunately, in our difficult times one salary of the husband is not always enough, and the woman Willy-nilly to help a spouse to financially support the family. There are often situations when a woman does not want to part with prestigious jobs, career growth, and forced to give up the baby, in order not to lose what she has achieved so hard. Fine if there are caring grandparents, ready to help and happy to baby with my grandchildren. Not everyone is so lucky. Someone they are not, someone is far away, one is not able to help - not health permits, they work for themselves or have no desire to help. Then comes to the rescue of the child. The first question is where to find it?




Agency recruitment




The easiest option is to turn to professionals. Fortunately, a lot of them now, so there are plenty to choose. Open any women's magazine or the Internet, and choose the Agency. Acquaint staff with their requirements and wait for his nurse.





Pros: it is more reliable than looking for a babysitter for the announcement. All candidates will be passed medical examination and health book, with pedagogical or medical education. Is a formal contract with a clear indication of responsibilities, work schedule and salary, taking into account the interests of both parties.


Cons:

the most expensive way, because you have to pay not only Babysitting services, but a large percentage of the Agency (approximately 50% of the salary of a nanny). Specialist of the Agency is not a guarantee that you will find "the nanny".


Tip:

before you sign a contract with the Agency, it is useful to read the reviews about his work.





Nanny ad


Another way is to find a babysitter for an ad in a newspaper, magazine, on "mlocking" forums or Rackley ads on poles near his home.





Pros: the easiest and cheapest way, and he, by the way, does not mean that the nanny will be a layman or a bad person.



Cons: the most unreliable, you let in the house and trust a stranger the most valuable thing you have - your child. Care book and a diploma of education, you will certainly check, but the recommendations from former jobs and no criminal record is unlikely.


Tip:

trust but verify - if you do decide to hire a nanny ad, gather a maximum of information (from registration to the social network pages).







Relatives




The stereotype that relatives should be contacted for assistance in the last turn, not always justified. Don't hesitate, who are not trying - he gets nothing. To avoid any misunderstandings and unnecessary talk, pay for their work on standard rates.





Pros: folk wisdom says that its burden is not heavy.


Cons:

you have to listen notation and moralizing about the education of their own child.


Tip:

immediately place all points over "i" is your child and only you decide how it needs to be nurtured. Clearly assess your cooperation - material rewards for quality care.







Friends, acquaintances, friends of friends




Ask friends and acquaintances about a suitable candidate. Word of mouth will spread the word very quickly.




Pros:

the nurse found an acquaintance, can be a very good option. It safeguards are positive reviews of your friends.


Cons:

I'd like to say that people - most of the Mercantile establishment. So, trying to save money by taking on the work of someone you know, you will not succeed. After some time, dissatisfaction with salary can get out.


Tips:

immediately tell us about all his requirements and do not depart from them. Not worth doing someone a disservice to hire someone who desperately needs the money, but not quite right for you. Boldly say "no".




Granny neighbor




Often grandmothers sitting at the entrance on the bench, all annoying. And what they have to do in the city? Their children have grown, grandchildren, house plot no, the TV was tired. Here and sit grandmother, miss. Take a look at it: how to apply to neighborhood children, talk a little about everything, select your favorite lady and ask her to earn money.




Pros:

in the face of an old experienced women you can find not just a nanny, and almost real native grandmother.


Cons:

older people live on by years of habits, a change which is almost impossible. They imagine that they know all or almost all, and to convince them not. Believe that the younger generation may not know what they know. To prove to these people that they are wrong is tantamount to inflicting the deepest resentment. These people, unfortunately, most.


Tip:

look closely at the grandmother, do not hasten to offer you a job just because she is stroking yard kid on the head and puts candy. Some do it to be good in their eyes, but also to neighbors and people on the bench. Look at her attitude.








Girl student


Such type as nannies are very popular among Americans. If you decide to hire a nanny-student, you have a direct route to a training College or University.




Pros:

a big plus is that students are not burdened with their own children and other chores, in addition to study. Unlike adults, young people are not so cynical towards life and can work on enthusiasm (no need to use it). Young energetic girls can be good and most importantly, interesting company for your child.


Cons:

some women fear for the safety of your marriage, do not take young girls as nurses. Lack of experience does not help the popularity of the students in the role of nanny.


Tip:

for babies up to one year, select students with pedagogical, and medical education.




What to look for when first meeting?




The first opinion, tends to be error-free.




Did she on time? Punctuality man punctuality in everything.




As she says? Announcer articulation not require it, but it should be clean and correct.




What is the timbre of her voice? Anyone can Brachot stupidity, but when he utters its voice, from which you arrived, it is better to refuse him.




Looks do during a call? Outdoor, confident, positive minded person would not look away.




As it looks? Babysitter for ten stiletto and with war paint on the face will cause confusion, just like in shapeless clothes and ruined shoes. It should not be devoid of taste and sense of style, because some time will be the pattern for your baby. Grandma-nanny must be neat and tidy.




As he gestures? Do not be lazy to pre-study the psychological literature and be familiar with the meaning of some gestures. They will tell you. For example, the man, folding his hands on his chest, deliberately closes you say, you say-say, but I still own I will do. Head bowed on one side, indicates that the interlocutor does not believe everything that you say. Active gestures issues impulsive, sometimes even aggressive person. The lack of gestures shows man obedient, but unenterprising.




For whom the nurse is trying to impress on you child or your mother-in-law? It should communicate with your baby. If you bring a small gift for the baby to get its location, tactite her plus.






What questions should I ask the nurse at the interview?




All that interest you. Professional issues should be alternated with the personal, the main thing is to do it subtly, in the course of casual conversation.




What kind of education? What experience? Do your own children? Why left from the previous employers? What are her Hobbies? Where does she live? Ask questions about how it will behave in certain situations (for example, if a child is drowning, throw a tantrum in the middle of the supermarket, if the child is frightened or, God forbid, was bitten by the dog). Ask what she likes, and what annoys children? Welcome creative issues, for example, name 5 reasons why we should take you to work.




Shyness is inappropriate here, because you choose your own helper, her right hand.




Make sure that your candidate for the role of a nanny is not listed in any blacklist nannies in your city. Such lists are on many forums, they provide recruitment agencies. Don't treat the nanny as a servant, not humiliate her dignity, but not familiarizate, no need to make her his girlfriend. Build solid partnerships.
