Write a job description for nanny: You should begin by writing up a job description that sketches the important terms of employment of your nanny such as work hours, childcare, childcare experience, qualification, special situations and other job responsibilities. There are some questions that you should ask yourself in order to find a good nanny for your family, the questions are: Are you looking for a nanny who can drive? Do you need a live-in nanny? Do you stay out late for work? Are you looking for a nanny who is comfortable with pets?.
2. Tell your colleagues and friends that you are planning to hire a nanny: Tell your friends and colleagues that you are looking for a nanny. You may be able to save money and time by finding nanny with the help of your friends and colleagues. You can get a good nanny easily when a family moves from one place to another or when the working conditions change. These families usually help nannies to find new jobs before moving. Some good nannies may help you out in finding nannies for your family, so if you have a co-worker who has a nanny at home, you can ask her for references. You will increase the chance of getting a good nanny by telling everyone that you are searching for a nanny.
3. Advertising the nanny job in your neighborhood: Let everyone know that you are searching for a nanny by advertising the job in your neighborhood. Make a flier and put it in your local pool, library, toddler and preschool programs and other places. You can also put a classified ad in the newspaper. The best and least expensive way is placing ad in community papers that cover couple of towns. Keep in mind that you don’t provide your home phone number and last name or address in newspapers. Provide your cell phone number and email address for the purpose of contacting you for the job.
