Once you have found the ideal nanny, you can start the hiring process. Before extending an offer, you will need to interview the nanny and call the potential nanny’s references. You also need to perform a background check.
- Check the nanny’s references. Call references and ask questions. Here are some good questions to ask:
- How long did the nanny work for you?
- Was he/she reliable and punctual?
- What were the nanny’s main responsibilities? Was he/she only responsible for child care or was he/she required to perform other tasks?
- Did the nanny interact well with your children?
- If you are using a site such as Sittercity.com, review the caregiver’s feedback.
- Interview the candidate in person. Observe them interacting with your children.
- Run a background check on the nanny candidate.
Follow these steps and the nanny hiring process will be a breeze.
