Children are definitely the most precious thing in our life. But it is not always possible to be with them 24 hours a day. In order to provide a better future for your child, you have to work hard. And then there is the question of choosing a nanny.
It is difficult to find a truly qualified, professional, and at the same time reliable and loving nanny in any city, be it the capital Moscow or a district center. But if you approach this issue correctly, you can find a person who can adequately replace the child's mother for a while and become a reliable support for him.
To find a nanny, use the recommendations:
Determine what qualities a potential nanny should have.
What are the main skills and abilities for you, what is secondary. Is having a teacher education important to you?
Some parents pay more attention to the personal qualities of such a person. Others require the nanny to have an education, know foreign languages and be able to teach the child. - Set a work schedule.
- Determine the acceptable financial framework: how much you are willing to pay for these services.
Everyone is looking for candidates for the position of a nanny in their own way. Some are guided by the reviews of acquaintances, others are looking among friends or neighbors. But, as practice shows, one of the most effective methods can be called a search in specialized agencies that work with professionals in their field.
Wherever you find a potential nanny, try to find out if she can provide proper child care. To do this, pay attention to the following criteria:
1. appearance - the nanny must be neat, clean, well-groomed;
2. competent speech;
3. no bad habits;
4. consistency in the presentation of their thoughts;
5. balanced character.
Even if you like a potential nanny, pay attention to how the child behaves with her at the first meeting. Probably, the stranger will not immediately like the baby, do not rush to refuse her services. Look at what approach the new nanny will try to find with the child.
Conduct a short survey, which includes information about work experience, education, the ability to get out of conflict situations that may arise with the baby.
Remember that the nanny will spend a lot of time with the baby. She will become his mentor, friend and even family member. That is why it is important to find a person whom you can trust and not worry about the upbringing and safety of your child.
Let's analyze the issue of finding a job as a nanny using the example of Moscow. Here, the specifics of hiring is different from most Russian cities, since the requirements are much higher.
Get ready for big competition. But if you like to spend time with children, you can always find a common language with them and enjoy the authority of the "little bosses", this job is for you.
Consider the main criteria for employment as a nanny:
Education
This parameter is not mandatory, but it is much easier to find a well-paid job as a nanny with a specialist diploma. A teacher education is welcome, but some parents are looking for a nanny with a medical degree.
Having a medical certificate
This requirement is taken seriously by most parents and especially recruitment agencies. Therefore, before starting your job search, collect the following references:
# test results for sexually transmitted diseases and hepatitis;
# fluorography;
# results of gynecological and dermatological studies;
# marks of the psycho-neurological dispensary.
You can complete these surveys on your own. But some couples do not trust dubious conclusions and are sent to undergo tests in trusted private clinics.
Child Communication Skills
Babysitting duties are determined by the parents. Some want the baby not to be left alone; others want him to visit theaters and museums from the cradle; someone wants their child to learn foreign languages; and some insist on the creative development of their child.
But the most important thing for a nanny is to find a common language with her pupil (even if he still cannot speak), to be supportive for him. A true professional understands the baby on an intuitive level. The nanny should be an authority for the child, and deserve it without shouting and threats.
