Find a Nanny That Fits And Feels Right
Besides the above list of services, you can also do some asking around for word of mouth recommendations from family and friends.
Interview or meet with as many of them to get the right one that feels comfortable to you and your child.
Be sure to ask important questions to determine the right fit and to have your expectations well met, like the years of experiences on the job, the kind of daily routines implemented, etc.
Whilst babysitter price is a big consideration for many of us, more importantly, is to have someone who can work well with our family’s values and requirements.
This is even more critical if we are planning on a long term care provider that starts from our child’s early childhood years.
