[quote=Anonymous]How to Keep a Good Nanny?

Plain and Simple OP. Really...

~ Come home on time, all the time. If you are going to be late, please text or call ahead of time and let us know. Common courtesy to let us know that you understand our time is just as valuable as yours is.

~ Pay us a competitive salary and do not nickel and dime us. And please do not forget to pay us on time. There is no excuse for late payments, missed payments or bounced checks. None.

~ Offer us 100% autonomy on the job. Trust us that we can handle the responsibility, then hand it to us. Do not micromanage us or interfere. Nothing will make a nanny leave faster than a parent who oversteps boundaries.

~ Treat us with respect. Do not treat us like "The Hired Help." While we do not need to acknowledged as family members per say, we also do not want to be treated as anything less than what we are and that is the same as what you are as well. Human being...In a nutshell.

~ Last, but not least, understand that gratitude speaks volumes in this profession. When leaving after a long day, hearing "Thank You" is very gratifying...More than you know. :)[/quote]
