They hated being expected to put tidiness before the children. Keep in mind that assigning additional household tasks should include additional pay. Be sure to include job responsibilities, hours, time off, salary and benefits. If you can afford it, agencies can simplify the nanny search and save you time. For example, if a girl seems really upset about a boyfriend she's going to miss, we can save a family from hiring her, then watching her return home, heartsick, after a month or two.
Candidates undergo a series of interviews and a psychological evaluation.
The evaluation helps the agency learn about relationships, co-dependence, coping skills, depression and more. Copies of driver's licenses and driving records are obtained, and they check out school transcripts and a doctor's health release. A criminal background check is also performed. Finally, references are asked between 40 to 50 questions. Successful nanny candidates attend a training program which covers commitment, discipline, CPR, first aid and other relevant things that will help them perform their jobs better.
