Nanny jobs you want the child care provider to undertake should be arranged before the start of her employment; in addition, the specific tasks should be incorporated in the contract to avoid vagueness and ambiguity which could give rise to conflicts. But how do you evaluate the competency of the nanny? Does she meet the standards of a professional nanny and is she qualified enough to care for your children?
Here are some guides to questions about nanny jobs you should ask the prospective employee.
Sample questions about child care management for infants and toddlers:
1. Why do babies cry?
2. How can you stimulate infants to explore their surroundings?
3. What can you do to develop language skills?
4. What play activities are appropriate for one to two year old kids?
5. Describe a toddler’s eating habits and appetite.
6. How would you discipline a toddler?
Ask the nanny applicant to list down babysitting references, character references, and employment references not related to child care provision and their addresses and contact numbers. Include the dates she was working for them and pay special attention to gaps in her employment resume. Ask for an explanation of these gaps and determine their veracity and validity. Paying some random references a personal visit will give you a better view of the competency of the nanny you are about to hire.
Ask the nanny about logistics:
1. Status- is she available for a live-in or live-out
2. Availability of schedule- can she work longer hours if needed and can she travel with the family
3. Means of transportation- can she drive, does she have her own car, and will she commute
These will have an impact on how she suits your family’s needs and lifestyle.
The nanny jobs you will assign to the child care provider are significant to your satisfaction for the services rendered and as such, the nanny should have the skills to accomplish them.
