Questions to Ask Yourself Before Beginning a Nanny Search

Making the decision to hire a nanny and select the right candidate for your family requires thoughtful consideration of what your needs are. Being clear about needs and expectations can help you find and identify the right nanny for your family.

Hiring a nanny is a huge commitment for a family and one that shouldn’t be entered lightly. British American Household Staffing (BAHS) is here to take the headache out of the process by providing personal attention, expert advice, and a roster of thoroughly screened nannies.

Common questions to help your search are:

  • How old are your children, and how will each age affect the nanny’s duties?

  • Do you need a nanny comfortable with homework help?

  • Would a nanny that is able to run errands and schedule appointments help most?

  • Do you need help keeping the home clean and organized as well as childcare?

  • Do any parents work outside of the home? How hands on do you want to be while the nanny is working?

  • Does your family entertain or go out often? Do you schedule things weeks in advance or spontaneously?

There is no right or wrong way to structure your nanny’s schedule and duties, but being transparent at the beginning about your needs and expectations will allow you to recognize the right nanny.
