Do not forget to include the followings on the application form than other things which are more important for you;

  1. Experiences in detail

    2. Previous employer contact details (specially the phone number)

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.

Hiring a nanny has become very common now. It reveals that there are huge number of people who work as nannies. In this situation there may be good nannies and bad nannies also. So you have to find the best nanny from this group of nannies. Nanny has to take care of your children and make comfortable and happy them. To do this task nannies must have some qualities to get. First thing is she should have a good background. To ensure this you can do some background checks. Good personality is another quality that a nanny should have. Other than these two here I describe about most important qualities that a nanny should have.

She should have the ability to produce at least three references. Parents must call all the references she has given. Ask about her personality, her attitude towards children, is she has a good behavior? like those things. It is okay if she is just started working and have no references from previous employers. But there must be respectable references. You can ask about her character from them. If she has a good character, it is okay, but if she has a bad character there is a problem. Because your children may have bad personality in the future due to this person.

Nanny is the person who is working in your home. So she has to obey your orders and live under your rules in your home. If she does not like to follow your instructions she would not be the perfect match to work as a nanny for your family. Suppose your doctor banned some foods for your children, such as ice creams and cool drinks. You must tell your nanny to not to give them those foods, So she has to obey your order otherwise your children's life is in danger. It is very important a nanny is willing to follow your instructions.

Next quality is, having common sense. If your nanny has no common sense, you and your family members will face many troubles in the future. It is better to look her common sense during the interview. You can ask about some situations and ask what she would do at such situations. Then you can decide that if she has common sense and quick thinking. These two things are more important than their level of education. So before hiring a nanny think about all these good qualities that she should have.

Finding the best nanny for the children is a tough task in these days. Most of the families are searching for nannies to take care of their children. Because they have a busy schedule and have not much time to take care of their children. Nanny has to act as the assistant mother in your family, because she has all the responsibilities of your children. There are important things to think before hiring a nanny. In this article I discuss about some of them which are highly recommended things.

There are some qualities you should hope from a nanny. She must be a non-smoker and should has a good family background. If you do not think about these, your children may turn to behave the worst. Parents like their children to be the best citizens of the nation with good behavior, attitude and personality that is why it is recommended to have a nanny with good qualities.

It is better if your nanny has a valid driving license. Then she can take your children to the school and take them to the sport practices. You can save your time and feel peace through this.

The next important thing is that how would you find your nanny. My opinion is to go for a nanny agency and tell them all your requirements, the salary you will pay, educational qualifications that you hope from her and all the important things. Then they will find you the best nanny who suits to your requirements. When you get the help from a nanny agency you have to pay an application fee and a placement fee. The placement fee is usually 10% from the nanny’s yearly wage (it may vary place to place OR agency to agency). This way is the best way to get a verified good nanny. But you have to spend some money for this.

Some parents miss one important factor on selecting a nanny, that is check all the references. If you go to a nanny agency or get some applications from nannies, you can see some references they gave you. You must call for this references and get all the important information from them. Do not forget to give calls to her last two employers and ask them about her attitude during the work. If they are not interested in answering to the questions you ask, or if they do not give a good response, that is a sign of the nanny’s weakness. If she worked well at those places the employers will give good reviews regarding her. So these are the main tips that you must think before hiring a nanny. Do not forget that you are searching for a person to give your children’s safe.

Some parents almost interviewed about 30 or 40 nannies for their children. Still parents have a doubt whether it is good to hire a nanny who has children. Parents may think that nanny would also face the situation that they are facing now. Because working as a nanny, she has no time to take care of her children rather than taking the care of other children. Through this article let's discuss about advantages and disadvantages of hiring a nanny with children.

Hiring a mother as a nanny is similar to hiring a nanny with more experiences. If she works well you can see how she is dedicated to her work. By working as a nanny she has no time to take care of her children. Most important thing you can get from her is, she has the knowledge about children's thoughts, feelings, what she should do when children get sick. She also has the ability to do housekeeping works while taking care of your children. It will give a reliable feeling for you.

A nanny who has kids is a really mom who is looking for work. So when you arrange an interview for a nanny with kids there are some vital things that you should ask from her. First tell her to describe how she handles all the things at your home and her home. Ask about some certain situations such as her children get seriously ill and what she would do at such a time?, When she has to take her children to sport practices before she gets off from your home; ask what she would do at that time. You can think about those situations and ask about them from her. From this you can get a clear idea about her and understand how she fits with your requirements.

Not only about these things mentioned above, you have to give your attention to some other things such as references, her family background, first aid certificate etc. Then if you think this nanny can give you a good service do not worry that she has children. She can be the best nanny you have ever got.
