You may be wondering what is the best way to go about this if you are a family looking for childcare options or a nanny looking for your next family to work with. You may have thought that starting your search independently on the internet was your best option, and you may or may not have found an appropriate family or nanny.
Indeed, the internet is a great place to start, but keep in mind that finding families or nannies on your own may not be the safest way to find work or hire your next child care provider. So, what is the best method, and what guarantees does it provide?
How do you go about finding your next nanny or family?
Using a reputable, registered High Profile Domestic Staffing Agency is the best way to begin your search. A nanny agency works with both families and child caregivers who are looking for work. They can be a great resource because they vet and meet with all potential families and nannies.
They will conduct an interview with nannies to complete security checks, check references and qualifications/experience, and learn about their previous work history.
They will meet/communicate with families to learn about their needs and preferences. They will be able to match the family with potential nannies and assist in finding the best match.
Nanny agencies typically have an office as well as an online presence. Current job openings will be posted online, and applicants who are interested can apply or register their interest. Families will then have the opportunity to view the interested candidate and decide whether or not to proceed.
The Advantages of Hiring a High Profile Domestic Staffing Agency
1. Nannies can be inexpensive.
Not always, especially in families with multiple children. Daycares usually charge per child, whereas nannies are paid in one lump sum. Furthermore, if your child becomes ill and is unable to attend daycare for a day, you will still have to pay, whereas a nanny will be able to care for your child at home as usual.
2. Nannies are skilled caregivers.
Nannies typically have extensive childcare experience and may also have professional training or qualifications related to childcare development or teaching. Nannies are also commonly expected to have a First Aid certificate. With all of this experience and training, a nanny is well prepared to handle any situation that may arise. Furthermore, hiring a nanny may be especially beneficial for first-time parents because they will be able to reassure and assist you with any questions you may have about your child's development.
3. Nannies assist in reducing morning chaos.
We all know how difficult it is to get our children out the door in the morning! With a nanny, you have an extra pair of hands to assist you in getting the kids to school on time. Even better, if your children aren't yet of school age, having a nanny means there's no pressure to get them out the door at all!
4. Nannies contribute to the preservation of a safe and familiar environment.
Being separated from their families, even for a short time, can be frightening for some children. Having a nanny allows your child to become acquainted with a new person while remaining in the comfort of their own home. They'll have all of their favorite toys and comforts nearby to help soothe them if necessary. It also means you won't have to worry about your child fighting with other kids over toys, getting sick or lice easily, being bullied, and so on.
5. Having a bilingual nanny agency allows the family to establish the tone and rules.
Parents are the most familiar with their children's nap times, what they will and will not eat, how much time they require playing outside, and so on. A nanny can adapt to your family's routines as well as your overall parenting style, which means your child will experience fewer inconsistencies.
6. Nannies reduce the number of times you have to pick up and drop off children.
Trying to balance the schedules of each family member can be stressful to say the least, especially if you don't work the traditional 9-5 hours. Hiring a nanny eliminates the need to get up at the crack of dawn to drop the family off at three different locations before the dreaded rush hour.
You won't have to say no to your child's latest dream of taking piano lessons because it conflicts with your work schedule. And you won't have to pay those pesky fines for picking up your child from daycare late.
7. Bilingual nanny agencies do more than just provide childcare.
Of course, all families and nannies should agree on what is and isn't acceptable when working. However, many nannies also provide light housework, meal preparation, homework assistance, and other services. Imagine coming home from a long day of work to a spotless home!
