Ideally, the parents of the child should be involved in raising the baby. But for moms and dads with an active lifestyle, this is sometimes problematic. Of course, you can turn to your grandparents for help. They usually happily agree to look after their grandchildren. However, this does not always happen. In this case, a stranger can help - a nanny who will take care of the baby as if it were her own child. A big plus if such a woman has already worked in a kindergarten or other families.
Before resorting to the help of a nanny in the upbringing and development of a child, you need to decide what kind of person you need.

It is desirable that a woman knows how to do some massage techniques, knows the features of a balanced and proper baby food. You should try to choose a neat, punctual, smiling woman.
A child at an older age needs to be given more attention in educational terms. Just looking after is not enough, you need to know the character of the child, the age characteristics of his inner world. In this case, the choice of a nanny must be approached especially carefully. It is desirable that, in addition to pedagogical education, a woman has additional artistic or musical education.
Before you start looking for a nanny, you need to talk to your friends, other young couples. It is possible that the interlocutors have already resorted to the help of nannies and can recommend the right person. However, it is better to try this method first when choosing a nanny. If it was unsuccessful, then you need to look for relevant ads in newspapers and the Internet. With this choice, there is a certain amount of risk, since you will have to turn to a stranger who will monitor your child and your home.
To minimize the risk of meeting a dishonest person, it is best to contact a professional agency. After a detailed story about what kind of person you would like to see as a nanny (education level, etc.), the agency staff will select such a person for a fee. At the same time, guarantees will be given for the quality of the service provided.
In the process of hiring a nanny, first of all, it is necessary to verify the authenticity of all documents, especially the passport and medical certificate. It is also important to familiarize yourself with the content of the work book.
To make the right choice in favor of a particular nanny convincing, it is necessary, if possible, to consult with her neighbors, colleagues, to learn about the character, interests, and lifestyle of a woman.
