Finding a nanny for a small child is difficult. And finding a good nanny is even more difficult. Romantic Mary Poppins somehow translated into our time, and not every parent is suitable for a girl who can fly away at the first opportunity as soon as the wind changes. Freken Bock - that in general "doomomchitelnitsa" for an amateur. As it turned out, there are also babysitters who live with you for a long time, and then are able to kill the child ... This terrible story was disturbed by the entire parental community, which began to look suspiciously at their nannies. And those who, like us, urgently had to look for an assistant, panic generally eclipsed the eyes. We have already looked for the suitable candidate for a long time, after a series of interviews. So by the present moment we are experienced people. I share.Find a person who would be trusted as himself, is not easy. Photo: frame from the movie "Bald Nanny"

• I admit, they did not apply to the agency. But in the same place and registered nannies, which are represented on numerous websites about finding work for home staff. But the prices of services in times differ from agencies. We have subscribed to special websites - about 2,000 rubles per month are subscribed, and believe me, this is a necessary waste. For the time that you are allocated, you can find a nanny. And without a subscription, alas, you will see on the site only the data of a potential candidate, but you can not contact her. The variant "nurse in inheritance" in our case did not fit, friends and acquaintances have all grown up, but in fact it is quite effective, I know from the experience of other families.

• When choosing a nanny, do not be afraid to viewas many candidates as possible. Although sometimes there is enough telephone conversation to understand: it does not fit. You can arrange a test walk of a nanny with a child - for an hour. One friend sent a potential helper to walk into the courtyard, which was visible from her window. And she was perfectly aware of how the nanny was coping with the baby. You can also take a walk with the candidates and see from the side whether there is contact with her with your baby. If there is any slightest doubt, discard the potential Mary Poppins immediately. With children who begin to walk, it is advisable to choose an active nanny, so that she simply has time for your child, continuously mastering the surrounding world. And also it is necessary that the nurse was strong enough and could lift the baby and lower the stroller in the entrance. Too subtle - also past. As for age, then, in my opinion, babysitting, like wine, is getting better with age. Ideally 50 plus.

• Do not hesitate to ask for the recommendations of previoushosts and their phones. You can find out a lot of interesting things later. Of course, if this is a real past employer, not a girlfriend of a candidate who has agreed to play a role. Believe me, this also happens.
