Of course parents prefer to get a trusted family relative or a friend to babysit their children but this option is not always available. Sometimes they will have to go out and no friends or relatives will be free to babysit their children. This is why they should always have other plans when it comes to babysitting. Of course parents are advised to seek someone they know and trust such as friends, relatives or co-workers but when they are not available, parents are advised to look for agencies that will provide them with babysitters.

In order to find the best babysitter, parents will have to go through tens of babysitters. Parents should judge the babysitters according to their C.V and their past experience. The parents should also interview all of the babysitter in order to be able to compare them. They should also ask them for the phone numbers of previous clients so parents can call them and ask them about the performance of the babysitter and ask if they recommend the babysitter to others or no.

After deciding on one of the babysitters, parents should then invite the babysitter to come and watch the kids while parents are in the house. This would allow the parents to monitor and watch the performance of the babysitter and check how she deals with the children and how do the children react to her. This experience would allow the parents to have a close look on the performance of the babysitter so they can make a better judgment and to make the parents sure that their children will be in safe hands when they are not in the house.

If the babysitter passes this exam, then parents should hire her services as they are now sure that the children are in good care. Before leaving the babysitter with the children alone, she should be informed with all of the house rules. This is why parents should lay out the rules to the babysitter before employment. This includes visitors, internet and phone use rules. Parents should also provide the babysitter with an information sheet that would be of good use in case of an emergency. This sheet should include things like their phone number, address, any close landmark and cell phone numbers. It should also include the ages and the blood types of the kids. This would allow the babysitters to resolve any situation and call for help if anything bad occurs.

Hiring full time nanny services is very common today especially in homes where both parents work. Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages to hiring getting a full time nanny. On the good side, it allows you to provide dedicated care to your child instead of the typical scenario in a child care center where 1 adult looks after 4 children. This also reduces the risk of your child getting colds.

Additionally, if you hire a full time nanny who came from another country or who speaks another language, then you expose your child to learning about different cultures or possibly, becoming bi-lingual.

The obvious disadvantage is just the idea that a complete stranger will be taking care of your child. However, with proper screening you can make sure that you get a capable and reliable full time nanny. Here are some tips to help you succeed in your search:

First, sit down with your spouse and list down what both of you want in a full time nanny. Include the working hours you require, if you prefer someone to stay in your home (live-in nanny), the level of experience you require, the exact duties you expect them to perform, and others.

Using this list of requirements, prepare a list of questions so you make sure that you cover all important points during an interview. Make copies of this questionnaire so you can record the answers of applicants for your quick reference when you need to make your decision. In addition, make sure to ask each candidate about their expectations of the job.

Once you have screened applicants on the phone, the next step is to personally interview those that have made your short list. It is important to meet your prospects and introduce them to your child so you can observe how they are together. Look at how they interact with each other. It is very crucial that your child is at ease with the person.

Just like in the screen process, you need to prepare a list of interview questions. The tone of the interview does not have to be very formal. You can simply have a conversation around the topics that are important to you. Do not ask close-ended questions or those where the applicant will only answer either yes or no. Encourage discussion by being friendly and polite.

Once you have made a decision, it is imperative to do a background check to avoid unpleasant surprises in the future. You want to be secure in the fact that you have made the right choice in a full time nanny.

Almost all busy, working parents need a nanny to take care of their child and, sometimes, their household chores. Finding a nanny is not an easy thing to do. You may have to go to an agency, put an ad in the newspaper or ask for help from a friend in finding a nanny.

Below are some tips on finding a nanny:

When finding a nanny, you need to identify the number of hours that you will require the nanny to work. If you are that busy and if your schedule frequently changes, you should make sure that you will inform your nanny beforehand if you need her to stay with your child overtime so that she can make the necessary adjustments in her personal life. This is very important for a live-in nanny. The nanny may feel mistreated if you are constantly requiring her to work more than the hours you agreed upon when you hired her.

It is important that you decide on the pay right from the start. Consider the amount that you can afford before finding a nanny. Ask people you know who have nannies how much pay they provide so you have a realistic basis. Live-in nannies get pay weekly including board and lodging. Some families allow nannies the use of a car and other perks such as gym membership, paid vacations and etcetera.

Nannies that are not live-in get paid by the hour. You can also hire a nanny from another country for a lower weekly pay. However, you would need to pay for their travel expenses. When finding a nanny, you also need to consider the fact that you will become an employer so you need to take care of completing all of the necessary legal employment documents required by the government and pay all necessary taxes, Medicare and social security. Both you and your nanny will have to pay certain taxes.

In finding a nanny, it is important that you and the nanny are in the same page when it comes to disciplining your child so make sure to discuss with your prospects what is acceptable and what is not and be sure that all of your terms are understood.

Another consideration in finding a nanny is the schedule of rest days. A live-in nanny and any type of nanny also needs a time off like any regular employee. At the same time, make sure to pay your nanny for overtime work or of you asked her to work during her supposed time off. If there is a need for the nanny to travel along with you and your family, you should cover all of her expenses plus her regular pay.

When you make an offer that shows a prospective nanny that you respect their profession and value their services enough to give them honest pay and good working schedule, then finding a nanny should come easy.
