Congratulations on finding the right nanny for your family! Now what?<\/h2>\n

Once you have been through the interview process and the vetting and nanny background check and have decided on the right nanny for your family, it\u2019s important to collect important information to have on file about your new household employee. You are now an employer and your household is now a workplace. This may be the first time you have ever managed or employed someone. Here is a list of things that you should have on file:<\/p>\n

1)\u00a0\u00a0 a copy of your nanny’s driver\u2019s license.<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0\u00a0 A second form of identification<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0\u00a0 A copy of her resume<\/p>\n

4)\u00a0\u00a0 A copy of her references<\/p>\n

5)\u00a0\u00a0 A copy of the nanny backgound check<\/a> you conducted<\/p>\n

6)\u00a0\u00a0 A copy of her cpr\/first aid certification<\/p>\n

7)\u00a0\u00a0 A copy of the signed work agreement<\/p>\n

8)\u00a0\u00a0 A copy of her job description<\/p>\n

9)\u00a0\u00a0 A copy of a confidentiality agreement if you have one<\/p>\n

10)A copy of her driving record from the DMV<\/p>\n

11)A signed I-9 form<\/p>\n

Once you start a personnel file on your new employee, make sure you keep it in a place where you can find it! This file is a great place to keep notes about your nanny doing something exceptional and discussing it at the review date! It is also a good reference for knowing when you will need her to get recertified for infant cpr\/first aid.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, sometimes things happen such as theft or fraud and you need to protect you and your family. One way of doing this is collecting important information about your nanny upfront so that if something goes wrong, you know in fact who she is and have verified it prior to employ.<\/p>\n

By creating a personnel file, it forces you to formalize the relationship which can also be important in establishing employee\/employer boundaries. This may seem \u201cimpersonal\u201d but it is absolutely essential should you wish for this relationship to last!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
