Canberra nannies are essential and vital for any new mom and dad. When parents are blessed with a new baby boy or a girl, they will have to make sure that they take good care of him. This is why they have to ensure his safety when they are busy at work; they have to make sure that this defenseless boy or girl is safe in their house when they are not with the baby. This is why they have to hire nannies to take care of their little child. In order to find the best nanny you have to follow these simple steps.

How to find the best nanny

If you are a part of a new mothers’ club, then go and ask your club members if they know good Canberra nannies that you can hire. You can also ask your relatives, friends, neighbors and even your friends at work. This is due to the fact that at a certain time, all of these people have been in the situation that you are in. After you get a list of names from your friends, start to interview these nannies one by one in your home. Also make sure that your baby is with you. A good nanny would arrive in time and will be well dressed.

Another thing that you should do is ask these Canberra nannies to bring you a reference list. A reference list is a list that contains the names of the people that the nanny worked for previously. This way you can ask these previous employers about the nanny’s performance and how good was she with the children. It is advised to call the references while the nanny is still at your home so you can ask her additional questions if they come up as a result of what you hear from the references.

Also you have to make sure that while you are interviewing the Canberra nannies that they know how to perform CPR on children and infants. This is due to the fact that the CPR process for infants is different from the CPR process for adults. This is why they have to be certified and know how to carry out CRP on infants. Matter of fact, it is advisable to know how to do it yourself as well, alongside the other residents of the house. There are places where you can take courses to teach you how to do CPR for infants.

After you narrow down the list of Canberra nannies invite them one nanny at a time to your house. Allow the nanny to interact with your infant while you are there, so you can check how she deals with the baby. You will see what she will do when the baby is crying or when he needs to get his diaper changed. You also should see how the baby reacts to the voice of the nanny, her touch and smell. It is vital to check this interaction between the baby and the nanny before you hire the services of any nanny.

After you decide on the best nanny from the many Canberra nannies that you interviewed, it will be time for you to back to your daily work and career. It will be the first time you go to work and leave your baby with the nanny. Of course, despite the fact that you have interviewed the nanny and called the reference list, but you will not be 100% sure that she is a good and reliable nanny. Don’t worry as there are ways that would allow you to be certain.

One of the most popular methods is a hidden camera, also known as a nanny camera. This camera would allow you to monitor and view what the nanny is doing with your baby the whole time while you are not at home. Nanny Cams are the best way to monitor the performance of Canberra nannies while you are not present in the house. These are state of the art cameras that are very easy to install and use. This will enable you to monitor the nanny pretty easily.

You don’t have to worry about where to put these cameras as they can be easily situated basically anywhere in your house and they will not be spotted by the Canberra nannies. After you go back home, you can easily view the whole footage of the Nanny Cam to see how did your nanny deal with your baby while you were out of the house. These steps are vital to make sure that you have a nanny that is caring and deals with your baby with care and love. If you follow these steps, you will make sure that your baby is being handled with care and love while your nanny is with him.

# 3. Verify references
An experienced Canberra nanny will not hesitate to give you references of her previous work. If an experienced nanny hesitates to give references or does not have any, it is better to stop at that point and go for next candidate. Why do I say so? If you have good experiences with a nanny, you will recommend her, but if you have bad experiences you will not.


#4. Ask for ID and fingerprints for background verifications
At the moment, many Canberra nanny agencies providing these things (You can check some websites), because background check is must as you are going to leave your loving children with some unknown people. So, you should have very clear details about that person. Sometimes, some may not like to give such details, if so, you can ask them to explain why? If you find the explanation is reasonable, you can hire them under your own risk, but that is not recommended. Also, even if you find nanny with the help of nanny agencies, it is important to ask for ID and fingerprints for a background check.

#5. Ask more details about previous job
There are people who are fond of children mostly choose their career as nanny, such people may express their views on taking care of children for her previous employer. As well as she may explain about how she was treated well by her previous employer? Tailor more relevant questions related to personal, emotional things and etc, that will show you very clear picture of your candidate, apart from that, it helps you to understand well. You can ask about her struggles with her previous employer.

More friendly questions will make her to open up her mind more widely, that helps you to listen and learn about her and decide whether to hire her as your Canberra nanny or not.
 
Also, note that there are experienced nannies (aged nannies) do not desire to change their way of care-giving as they still in thought that their old methods are still best.
