Nanny Agency Toronto (416) 223-2831 NannyAgencyToronto.com
We are a Nanny Agency in Toronto committed to providing top quality Live-in/Live-out local Nannies and Caregivers placement services to Canadian families through professional evaluation and background screening. Finding the right Nanny for your family requires patience and perseverance. Remember that one of the most important factors in choosing a Nanny is finding a candidate who is a good match to your family. Evaluating your family’s needs and preferences provides essential information for hiring the right caregiver.
Personally Interview The Nanny
It is important to conduct a personal interview of any Nanny you are planning to hire. It makes sense to conduct the interview in the presence of your kids and any relative that you can get hold. If after the interview everyone feels positive about the Nanny then it's ok to hire the person, if there is any doubt or uneasiness in the minds of anyone then it is better not to hire the Nanny. Human nature works on the basis of instinct, people have instinct to guide them when they are not completely sure of all the facts. Believe your instinct completely and also the instinct of your close ones before selecting the Nanny. Some who has a great background record does not necessarily qualify as a good Nanny. If your kids don’t feel any friendly vibes from the Nanny during the interview make sure you reject the person. Kids surprisingly have a better instinct than adults when it comes to determining a truly friendly person. Give complete priority to your kid’s decision when it comes to a Nanny.
Monitor the Nanny’s Performance
Like any good hirer it makes sense to monitor the performance of the new joined (into your family) for at least a period of a week. You can monitor the Nanny performance on the basis of feedback given by your kids mainly; you can also get feedback from people who get to see the Nanny’s behavior when you are not around like say your gardener, your cook, your maid or your neighbors.
