Cases of nannies abusing children have been on the rise and the question that is left in everyone’s mind is ‘Who is to blame?’ As much as we point fingers at the nannies, parents also fail when hiring them for failing to consider simple factors.
Below are some of the things you should consider to avoid ending up with the wrong nanny:
Find out if there are companies that provide you with trustworthy nannies
There are several companies which are into the services of providing you with amazing nannies on demand. All you need to do is learn about such companies and find out which one can help you with your needs by providing you with an amazing on-demand nanny, who can take care of your kids, nicely.
Talk to your friends, who have hired a nanny in the past
You have to get in touch with all your working friends. Talk to your friends to find out if they have ever hired nannies for their kids. If they have, it is always good to take their references because then you can trust the nanny you hire.
Learn about those nannies that have amazing qualities
There are a lot of nannies who advertise their services on the internet, including social networking websites. Go through the profiles of different nannies and find out about their qualities. Always hire a nanny who has at least a few special qualities so that your child can learn something from her.
Learn about the communication skills of the nanny you have really liked
If you are unable to find a nanny with good communication skills, you might spoil the communication skills of your little one as well. If you want to stay in Nairobi for a long period of time, make sure the nanny speaks Swahili or English so that your kid is able to grasp a few words and learn something new.
Find out if your child or children are comfortable with the nanny you have liked
Invite the nanny to your house so that you find out if your kid or kids are comfortable with her or not. It is not a difficult thing to figure out the bond between the nanny and the kid or kids in a single day.
Learn about the service charges of the nanny you are planning to hire
This is something that you need to consider the most; unless you can afford the services of a particular nanny, you can’t hire her no matter how good and positive she is. Make sure you hire someone you can afford the service charges of.
Go through the reviews of the company or the nanny you want to hire
Thanks to the internet, you can learn about all the nannies that you want to. All you need to do is visit the website of the company that provides you with an on-demand nanny and read reviews written by different people, who have hired nannies from the company. Once you know which nanny has positive reviews, you can trust in her services.
