Hiring a Nanny

At caregiveragency.ca, we know that you want to provide your family with the very best. We are available to help you find the very best childcare provider, a nanny who will become an integral part of your family. Here are some points to consider when hiring a nanny:

Do you want a nanny to live in with your family, or do you prefer a nanny that will come to work and then leave at the end of her shift?
Do you want the nanny to look after the children only, or do you need a nanny that will help with meal preparation and housekeeping?
How important is schedule flexibility to you and to your family?
How many hours and days per week do you need the nanny?
What can you comfortably afford to pay the nanny?
Do you want a nanny that can also tutor and help the children with homework?
How active are your children? Do you need a nanny that is "super energetic", or do your children prefer quiet activities such as reading and drawing?
Do you need your nanny to be able to drive your children to activities?
How important is it to you that the nanny has the same religion or cultural background?
What language do you want the nanny to speak, or would you hope that she can introduce another language to your children?
Do you need a nanny that can travel with your family?

These are just a few of the points to consider which will help you to prioritize your needs. When you have a clear idea of what is most important to you and to your family, you will be better equipped to successfully interview and to ultimately hire, the perfect nanny for your family.
