How to Choose and Monitor the Nanny
Source : http://nannyaustralia.webs.com/apps/blog/show/21068995-how-to-choose-and-monitor-the-nanny
A babysitter, also known as a nanny is a woman who will stay with your children when you have to leave the house for work, a date or any kind of family emergency. These nannies will be responsible for your children while you are away. They will change their diapers if they are newborns, feed them and drive them or pick them from any given destination if needed. They will make sure that your kids go to sleep on their bed time. This is why babysitters and nannies became very essential and vital for many families, especially for working parents.
Parents will have to be very careful when they are choosing the nannies because they will be fully responsible for their children in every aspect. So if any emergency happens, the lives of the children will be in the hands of the nanny. This is also why parents should make sure that the nannies can handle emergencies, they will have to make sure that they can perform CPR and can use a First Aid kit. This could be the difference between life and death for your child in case of an emergency. Therefore, it is important to sit and talk with the nanny before you hire her.
This interview will give you an idea of the abilities of the nanny and what she is capable of. It will also give you an idea of her character and how she plans to deal with the children. The first thing you should ask the nanny is her past experience; this will give you an idea of her service quality. Then you should tell her the tasks and what she will be responsible of doing while you are away. You should also see how she reacts with the children by calling them and letting them interact with her to see how she deals with them.
Some people are very skeptical and they worry about what is happening back home when they are not there. These parents can monitor everything that goes on in the house when they are not away by using the latest technology in cameras. They will use a nanny cam. This camera is designed to fit in small places so it cannot be seen by the nanny. So after the first day, parents will be able to view the whole day from the point of view of the cam to see how the nanny dealt with the children.

How to choose Canberra nanny?
Find
a nanny in a city like Canberra is not easy as you think. Your
Canberra nanny should be able to take care of your children and
should be very professional. There are people who had made wrong
decision on selection of nanny for their loving children. However, if
you are very clear on your requirements as an employer and clearly
explain it to candidate which will help you to find a nanny to fit
with your requirements and needs. But, it is not easy as saying. So,
here are some ideas, on what are the things to be taken into account
when choosing a nanny.
#1
Ask about their experience as Canberra nanny
Get
clear ideas about candidate's experiences as nanny is very important.
An experienced nanny only knows how to handle children, how to take
care of them, how to treat them when they are doing some “child
play”, like spit-ups, tantrums and etc. Inexperienced nanny may not
well aware about child play and may become rude with child when child
spit-up, tantrums or any other similar actions from child. It is
advisable to ask questions on all the boundaries like how nanny will
treat the child during tantrums, how to teach child, how to feed
child, what to do during child is sick in conditions, what to do when
child is wet and etc. There are young babysitters who take care of
children mostly as part-time also may be one of your candidate, but
it is not better to go for them rather than a full-time nanny as far
as your need is to find a nanny. You are going to leave your baby on
others arm for few times, so you should take full responsible on
selecting perfect nanny.
#2
Is your nanny living near Canberra?
Finding
a Canberra nanny will make your and nanny's life easier. There are
chances for her to be late, if she is near, it is easier for her.
Apart from that, if she is near by area of you, she is very much
friendly with the areas, that helps during an emergency. There are
cases, where nanny is great in all the aspects, but she has to travel
about few hours to come – but that may bring issues as she needs to
take long time to travel and she may not comfortable on long run, on
the other hand, she may not familiar with your area and may find
difficulty on finding stores like pharmacy and etc.
#
3. Verify references
An
experienced Canberra nanny will not hesitate to give you references
of her previous work. If an experienced nanny hesitates to give
references or does not have any, it is better to stop at that point
and go for next candidate. Why do I say so? If you have good
experiences with a nanny, you will recommend her, but if you have bad
experiences you will not.
#4.
Ask for ID and fingerprints for background verifications
At
the moment, many Canberra nanny agencies providing these things (You
can check some websites), because background check is must as you are
going to leave your loving children with some unknown people. So, you
should have very clear details about that person. Sometimes, some may
not like to give such details, if so, you can ask them to explain
why? If you find the explanation is reasonable, you can hire them
under your own risk, but that is not recommended. Also, even if you
find nanny with the help of nanny agencies, it is important to ask
for ID and fingerprints for a background check.
#5.
Ask more details about previous job
There
are people who are fond of children mostly choose their career as
nanny, such people may express their views on taking care of children
for her previous employer. As well as she may explain about how she
was treated well by her previous employer? Tailor more relevant
questions related to personal, emotional things and etc, that will
show you very clear picture of your candidate, apart from that, it
helps you to understand well. You can ask about her struggles with
her previous employer. Even a nanny is well experienced and very
qualified with good degrees and other qualifications, there are
chances to work with a bad employer. Give a chance to explain those
in detail before make a judgment about your candidate. More friendly
questions will make her to open up her mind more widely, that helps
you to listen and learn about her and decide whether to hire her as
your Canberra nanny or not.
Also,
note that there are experienced nannies (aged nannies) do not desire
to change their way of care-giving as they still in thought that
their old methods are still best. It is wise to put up front all your
needs and requirements at first point on such things. If your
Canberra nanny agrees, she will go further on your interview phase,
otherwise go for next.
Find
a Canberra nanny may be difficult without asking above mentioned
questions in detail. Also, keep in mind, relationship between your
family and nanny is kind of long -lasting relationship, as it is very
important to put additional care on nanny selection. Good luck on
finding your nanny.

There are different things that a client must know about when choosing a nanny agency. The things may be fundamental but it would be of great value.
Parents should be aware of the basic details about the agency. This consist information such as the company and its owner’s name, how long the company has been working, its rate of success and likes.

Getting a Full Time Nanny
Hiring full time nanny services is very common today especially in homes where both parents work. Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages to hiring getting a full time nanny. On the good side, it allows you to provide dedicated care to your child instead of the typical scenario in a child care center where 1 adult looks after 4 children. This also reduces the risk of your child getting colds.
Additionally, if you hire a full time nanny who came from another country or who speaks another language, then you expose your child to learning about different cultures or possibly, becoming bi-lingual.
The obvious disadvantage is just the idea that a complete stranger will be taking care of your child. However, with proper screening you can make sure that you get a capable and reliable full time nanny. Here are some tips to help you succeed in your search:
First, sit down with your spouse and list down what both of you want in a full time nanny. Include the working hours you require, if you prefer someone to stay in your home (live-in nanny), the level of experience you require, the exact duties you expect them to perform, and others.
Using this list of requirements, prepare a list of questions so you make sure that you cover all important points during an interview. Make copies of this questionnaire so you can record the answers of applicants for your quick reference when you need to make your decision. In addition, make sure to ask each candidate about their expectations of the job.
Once you have screened applicants on the phone, the next step is to personally interview those that have made your short list. It is important to meet your prospects and introduce them to your child so you can observe how they are together. Look at how they interact with each other. It is very crucial that your child is at ease with the person.
Just like in the screen process, you need to prepare a list of interview questions. The tone of the interview does not have to be very formal. You can simply have a conversation around the topics that are important to you. Do not ask close-ended questions or those where the applicant will only answer either yes or no. Encourage discussion by being friendly and polite.
Once you have made a decision, it is imperative to do a background check to avoid unpleasant surprises in the future. You want to be secure in the fact that you have made the right choice in a full time nanny.

Nanny child care
Source : http://goarticles.com/article/Nanny-child-care/4879854/
What duties are required with nanny child care? Many parents often wonder the extent of the responsibilities of a nanny child care. At first meeting, families and nannies alike are advised to establish guidelines and set expectations with regards to caring for the child/children. This helps prevent disputes with the nanny and cause the nanny to leave.
Highly qualified nannies are a rare kind, so if your current nanny displays qualities that suit your preferences on child care and loves your child, then you’ve found a jewel. Hence, you need to make sure that all is well between the nanny and you for the nanny to build long-term employment relationship with you.
The degree of nanny child care depends on the nanny’s child care experience. Entry-level nannies may only involve helping mothers with child care while experienced nannies can do as much as be instrumental in the intellectual, emotional, physical, and social development of a child. Most families need to leave the children in the care of a full-time nanny. With that comes the responsibility of ensuring the welfare of the children during the day when parents are at work.
The top priority of nanny child care, in general, is to make sure the children’s needs are met in the different areas of development. Being a nanny is more than just receiving a weekly pay check. Working with children is a very fulfilling job because you are not only a caregiver, but also someone who is part of a child’s life.
The main responsibilities of nanny child care include meal preparation, help with homework (of schoolchildren), taking the child to scheduled activities, arrange play dates, plan stimulating activities, do the children’s laundry, keep play areas clean, and others as may be agreed upon between the parents and nanny.
Improve child care skills
Child care can be a very demanding task, especially with very young children. Thus, one common way to improve nanny child care skills is to participate in nanny trainings and obtain a certification. A great number of parents would prefer nannies that have undergone various trainings on child care, which can include first aid training.
Several organizations are devoted to nanny or babysitter trainings in response to the growing demand for child care services. One of the best known trainings is the American Red Cross Babysitter Training and the CABS (developed by several national organizations including the American Academy of Pediatrics).
Nanny child care requires patience, but when you grow to love the job and the child, it can be a very flattering experience.
