A babysitter, also known as a nanny is a woman who will stay with your children when you have to leave the house for work, a date or any kind of family emergency. These nannies will be responsible for your children while you are away. They will change their diapers if they are newborns, feed them and drive them or pick them from any given destination if needed. They will make sure that your kids go to sleep on their bed time. This is why babysitters and nannies became very essential and vital for many families, especially for working parents.

Parents will have to be very careful when they are choosing the nannies because they will be fully responsible for their children in every aspect. So if any emergency happens, the lives of the children will be in the hands of the nanny. This is also why parents should make sure that the nannies can handle emergencies, they will have to make sure that they can perform CPR and can use a First Aid kit. This could be the difference between life and death for your child in case of an emergency. Therefore, it is important to sit and talk with the nanny before you hire her.

This interview will give you an idea of the abilities of the nanny and what she is capable of. It will also give you an idea of her character and how she plans to deal with the children. The first thing you should ask the nanny is her past experience; this will give you an idea of her service quality. Then you should tell her the tasks and what she will be responsible of doing while you are away. You should also see how she reacts with the children by calling them and letting them interact with her to see how she deals with them.

Some people are very skeptical and they worry about what is happening back home when they are not there. These parents can monitor everything that goes on in the house when they are not away by using the latest technology in cameras. They will use a nanny cam. This camera is designed to fit in small places so it cannot be seen by the nanny. So after the first day, parents will be able to view the whole day from the point of view of the cam to see how the nanny dealt with the children.

Having a live-in nanny can be very beneficial for a busy parent because a live-in nanny can provide full-time child supervision and care. Some parents consider their live-in nanny as their partner in raising their children.

A live-in nanny can help your children prepare for school in the morning and can also greet them when they return from school. They can also help your children with their studies especially if you are most of the time away because of business trips. Furthermore, a live-in nanny can help nurse a newly-born baby until the mother gets back on her feet and return to her normal condition.

These are just some of what a live-in nanny can do for you. If you are planning on hiring a live-in nanny, you need to know a few things before letting a nanny inside your home. When you hire a live-in nanny, you are making a personal connection involving you and your kids. You should not be in a hurry to be sure that everything will work out smoothly.

Tips on finding a live-in nanny:

Talk to someone who has experience working with a live-in nanny and ask about the arrangements they made. Afterwards, make a detailed outline of your terms as well as the duties that the she needs to fulfill. These terms should be included clearly in the contract and you also need to be direct and reasonable in your expectations from the nanny. Discuss a fair pay with the nanny and be sure that she is comfortable with the accommodation that you will provide.

Another important thing that you should consider is that you are hiring a nanny and not a housemaid. You might consider hiring a housekeeper nanny if you need more than just child supervision and care.

When hiring a nanny, there is a possibility that you are hiring a professional in childcare or a somewhat inexperienced babysitter because a nanny can be someone with a degree in healthcare or someone who has experience in taking care of a younger sister or brother.

Once you found the perfect live-in nanny, be sure that you and your entire family are ready to welcome her. Prepare her room and be sure that she will have privacy during her time off. Normally, nannies ask for two consecutive days off and it is important that you include in the contract the rules for overtime.

If you need extra help from your live-in nanny other than child supervision and care, you should also provide them extra compensation. It is very important that you talk to your live-in nanny about this.

Remember, it is important that you establish a good relationship with your live-in nanny because a live-in nanny can be more than just a caregiver, she can be a trusted friend.

Raising a child is perhaps the biggest challenge for anyone. If you need to balance this with work, you’re up for even a greater challenge. This is why many working parents today choose to entrust their children in the care of a nanny.

Although they are your children, it is also important for them to spend time with other nurturing caregivers other than you and your spouse because interacting with other people can give good benefits to your children. Also, being with your child always does not make you a better father or mother. As an adult you will also need to go out, play a game or socialize to have a healthy, well-balanced lifestyle. This just shows how important it is to find a nanny to take care of your children.

If you only require a few hours a day of childcare then hiring a part-time nanny is a good option rather than enrolling your children in a daycare center. Hiring a part-time nanny works greatly in most situations, like if you have work during the day or during the night.

There are actually different types of nanny positions, a full-time live-in, full-time live-out and a part-time nanny. There is also a nanny that only works for a certain period of time like the summer nanny. For more skilled, thoughtful and regular nurturing, it is best that you hire a full-time live-in nanny. A full-time live-in nanny is a professional child caregiver that is looking for a steady income.

When looking for a nanny, you must specify your requirements and expectations. You may list down all of your demands like she should not only provide childcare but also take care of preparing meals and manage housekeeping as well. You may look for a nanny who has her own car or other specific requirements, like a nanny who can also be a tutor to your child. Also, you should discuss with her all other work conditions including rest days, overtime work and etcetera.

Many nannies are educated or have received training about child health, safety and childhood learning so you shouldn’t be surprised if they know more about your children than you do. You may find that hiring a nanny is one of the best options for caring for your children. Whatever you decide on, it should be something that you and your partner both agree on. Consider including your children in the decision making if they are of the right age.
