These resources can often be utilized for nannies as well. For example, your local hospital may have a baby care class that your nanny can attend as a way of \u201cfreshening up\u201d her skills. Additionally, this may be a great time to update both your Infant\/CPR first aid certification as well as have your nanny get recertified.<\/p>\n In addition to some classes, make sure you have a conversation with your nanny about how you expect a new baby to change your lives and more importantly to your nanny, how it will change her job description. Here’s some good tips on training your nanny for newborn care<\/a>. Make sure you discuss nanny pay<\/a> changes, any new responsibilities, and schedule changes. Encourage her to discuss any concerns or questions she may have about this transition. Be honest. If there are some questions you can\u2019t answer yet because you are unsure of how a new baby may change your life, be honest and say that.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t miss out on this opportunity to express to your nanny how much she means to you and your family. If you are willing to do what it takes to keep your nanny with a new baby on the way, make sure she knows how much you value her!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It\u2019s so great to have a nanny whom you trust and who has already been a part of your family for sometime when a new baby arrives, but your nanny hasn’t worked with newborns for some time.
