How To Do A Proper Background Check On A Nanny

Getting a nanny is difficult these days. There are lots of reports and criminal cases where a nanny is part of a crime or violence. Before we get our nanny we make sure we know the family background. I think it is the best part to do, knowing his or her family background first. When you hire a nanny you need to make sure that she is the best person for the job. You do not, after all, just want to leave your kids with just anyone. The person should be responsible, likes kids, be able to have fun, and still know when it is time to be serious. A Few Pieces of Advice

One of the most important things you do before you hire a nanny is make sure you get at least three references. Make sure you contact all of these references and ask them specific questions about her performance. Ask them if they would hire her again, if they liked how she handled the children, why she left, and any other little bits of information that you can think of. If you can not get a hold of the three references ask for some more references until you talk to three people.
