Panning for gold can take a long time, but when you find that priceless nugget it is worth all the time you labored. The same is true with finding someone to take care of your little gemstone. There are a few steps you should follow to help you find the nanny of your dreams. Step One: Identify what you are looking for Do you want a grandmotherly type that will spoil your child with hugs and will keep your house spotless? What about a young person with a degree in Early Childhood Education that will stimulate and encourage development? Make a list of what you are not willing to settle on and keep it close at hand when you begin your search. Step two: Research the possibilities Ask friends and neighbors and others that you trust to recommend a person for you to interview or a service for you to contact that could help you. Surf the Internet for online services that will help you find the right person. These websites can give you an idea of pay ranges and what is available in your area. Step Three: Line up interviews After you have carefully read through the resumes, meet with your choices. Ask them all the questions you want real answers to and don't leave anything out. Let them meet your child and watch their interaction. Listen to your gut. Motherly instincts are stronger than you may think. Step Four: Check references Once you have narrowed down the candidates, call their references. Ask them to give you strengths and weaknesses and why they are no longer using him/her. Step Five: Do a trial run Ask any of the finalists to come to your home one at a time for a trail run. Pay each one for their time and observe how he/she interacts with your child/ren. |
