[quote=Anonymous]+1 on including housekeeping as a responsibility. On searching for a nanny, it is very different than hiring in your workplace. Most good nannies don't have resumes so you do need to prepare for a good amount of phone screening. My advice would be to address deal breakers such as available hours or legal to work first to cut down on the time you spend on the phone with candidates that can't work for you. I would also advise to quickly move on from candidates with red flags. The nannies will probably object and want you to give them the benefit of the doubt but as an employer this isn't a smart approach. For those with no red flags and no deal breakers, I would advise spending more time on the phone drawing them into conversation. As a whole, nanny candidates seemed less comfortable with interviewing and "selling" themselves than job candidates in other fields. [/quote]
