Finding the perfect nanny or sitter can be stressful. How do you know you aren’t making a mistake? How do you know what qualifications or traits to look for? We compiled a short list to help you through the process to put your worries to rest.
Identify what’s important.
One of the best ways to get started in your search for a nanny or babysitter is simple: know what you want. Sitting down by yourself or with your partner and identifying what you’re looking for can help define your search and make the process go much more smoothly. Are you looking for a babysitter for an occasional night out, or a full-time nanny to care for your infant or children? Someone that will join you on vacations, help run your household, or someone who picks the kids up from school? Every family has different needs, and a list of requirements and qualifications for your ideal sitter or nanny can help you find them.
Match your values
In addition to meeting your basic needs, such as qualifications and time commitments, the best sitter or nanny for your family feels the same way you do about raising children. Making sure your values align can make a world of difference and ensure a great relationship between you, your sitter or nanny, and your children.
Use the kid test.
Ultimately, your sitter or nanny is for your children. Pay attention to how your new sitter or nanny interacts and connects with your family. Keep your kids in mind through the whole process and value their feedback.
