Nannies
Find the best nanny possible to care for your children is an important decision. Having either a live in or live out nanny can be the best choice for childcare for many people, particularly if your children are small (infants/toddlers) and you have a busy work schedule. It is important that children of this age bond with loving adults and receive the right amount of attention which may be difficult to receive in a day care setting.
HOW CAN I FIND THE BEST NANNY FOR MY NEEDS?
Their are many ways to identify a nanny that will fill your needs and who will be a great caregiver for your child. You can look in the local classifieds or online classifieds, interview candidates, conduct your own background checks etc. if you have the time. If you choose this route, please make sure you do thorough checks on their driving records, criminal records and their legal work status. You will sleep better at night knowing that your child is in good safe hands during the day.
Another good way of finding a Nanny for your child is to go through a service that provides background checks, provides resumes for you to review and allows you to screen information online before you begin the interviewing process. We recommend this route for several reasons. 1) It will save you time and yield many good, qualified candidates, 2) These services are inexpensive considering the value you receive (checks, resumes, upfront info, reviews) and 3) national, online services have much larger databases of people and will not try to send you someone who may not be good fit (like small local agencies might).
