children is by listening to your heart. Follow your intuition.
If you don’t feel any ‘chemistry&
person, don’t even try to hire her/him. You might regret
it, one day, for choosing a bad nanny for you beloved children
and for not listening to your heart.
Yet, there should be some other considerations:
•He/she loves kids
Check it out by asking how close he/she with the kids in
her/his family or neighborhood or with her/his own kids if any.
Ask her/him her/his most beautiful and worst experience with
kids. By the answer she/he gives, you can judge whether she/he
loves kids or not. Don’t forget to look into her/his eyes
to avoid her/his lying to you.
•Her/his experience in taking care of kids
You can ask her/him how she/he take care of kids should she/he
has experiences in it. Make her/him tell you solutions to
problems that might rise on the process, for example what if the
kid falls or can’t stop crying.
•Her/his vision and mission on childcare
Is she/he the kind of person who just allows kids to do
anything they want—while you’re not that kind? Or,
on the contrary, she/he has very binding rules—
don’t want your children to have too many boundaries
because that might affect their creativity? To sum up, you and
the nanny must have the same vision and mission about childcare.
Differences will not only cause confusions to the kids, but also
can cause problems between parents and nanny.
•Medical Check up
It would be best to take her/him for a medical check up. Yet,
some parents feel that it’s a little bit impolite. So, the
best thing to do is by asking directly to the candidate whether
she/he have suffered from a certain kind of illness or not and
which illness. Or, you can judge by her/his look and appearance.
•Trial
If possible, ask for a trial. It can be two or three days. From
that, you can see how she/he interact with your kids. You can
also find out if the kids like her/him or not. Next, you can
finalize the decision, whether to hire her/him or go through
some other recruitment processes.
