A nanny provides consistent care for a child or multiple children, unlike a babysitter who likely only looks after your children on occasion. Care.com has a wide variety of nannies with different levels of experience and skills. You can find nannies specialized in infant care or overnight nannies to help with your newborn while you sleep. There are nannies experienced in caring for toddlers or teenagers, live-in nannies, and even nannies who can help watch your kids before or after school.
Yes, nannies on Care.com are asked to complete an annual background check called a CareCheck. Nannies who complete this background check will have a badge on their profile displaying the date it was run. While CareCheck is a good start, we strongly recommend that you follow some additional steps for hiring a nanny safely, which include interviewing candidates, checking references, and running your own background check. Visit our Safety Center to learn more.
The perfect nanny for you may not be the perfect nanny for another family. Outline your needs and what you think will work best in your home. Do your kids thrive with structure and schedules? Are you more interested in getting your kids outside or being creative? Do you have young children who need hands-on care? Being clear about what you need and what you are looking for will help you find the right nanny for you. For example, you may be looking for a live-in nanny which has a unique set of expectations. What is a live-in nanny? A live-in nanny is a nanny who will live in your home while they are employed by you.
In order to get to know if the candidate is a good fit, focus your interview questions around their experience as a nanny, their child care style and personality, their previous training and skills, payment expectation, as well as any specific requirements to be performed on the job. It is very common to schedule a paid trial where you can be present while they care for your children. This is a great way to find out if the nanny is a good match for your family and if your kids feel comfortable as well.
