So you\u2019ve decided that you need a nanny. The first thing you need to do is identify your family\u2019s nanny needs. For more information on identifying your family’s nanny needs please see this Nanny Doctor video<\/a>. Think about all of the practical needs like days, times, number of children, ages of children, etc. Additionally, think about the temperaments of your children, their activities. Do you need a nanny who drives? What will the nanny job duties be? Do you need someone who is an \u201call-things child\u201d nanny? Or someone who also helps with housekeeping what we call a nanny-housekeeper<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Here are some quick and easy steps to get you started:<\/p>\n

1) Identify your family\u2019s specific needs<\/p>\n

2) Write up a nanny job description.<\/p>\n

3) Go to enannysource.com<\/a> and begin to look at the nanny profiles. Consult your job description and begin to look at what nanny seems as though they would fit your family\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n

4) It\u2019s best to start this nanny search around 3 weeks before you actually need a nanny. Sometimes this process may seem overwhelming, allow enannysource to guide you through this process. For more support check out our Nanny Success Kit<\/a> for details and tips about finding and maintaining the right nanny.<\/p>\n

5) Narrow down your search! Put your favorites on the My Top Picks list<\/p>\n

6) After you narrow down your search, e-mail the nanny using the enannysource mail system. Inquire about any questions or concerns you may have prior to setting up a phone interview.<\/p>\n

7) After you have found a couple of candidates, set up a phone interview.<\/p>\n

8)\u00a0The next step is to check references and conduct a nanny background check<\/a>. This is an essential step. Do not skip this step. Conducting a background check through enannysource.com is simple and easy.<\/p>\n

9) Interview your nanny in person and make a decision.<\/p>\n

10) Have a try-out period for your potential new nanny!<\/p>\n

This is just a quick list of how to get started. Go to the enannysource library<\/a> for more information and details!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
