NANNY
CHECKLIST
Choosing a nanny can
be one of the most
important decisions
a parent ever makes.
HEALTH
shares some
tips to help make
finding the perfect
nanny for your family
easier.
To Start
Consulting with nanny agencies, friends and advertising for a
nanny are all ways to find a good nanny.
You should definitely interview the nanny in person before hiring her.
Allow your child to meet the nanny also.
List the qualities your ideal nanny would possess, and keep that with
you as you meet potential matches. Experience, personality, childcare
philosophy and training are all factors to consider.
A background check will alert you to any questionable behavior in the
potential nanny’s past.
