Nannies Malborne is created by Early Childcare Educators who believe that quality in home Nanny services is advantageous to children, as opposed to a one size fits all approach offered in early childcare centres. Our aim is to create a community of caregivers and families all seeking to have their lives enhanced.

Finding babysitting jobs can be daunting. If you’ve experienced hiring or working as a babysitter, it can be hard to know what you look for in a potential candidate. All you know is that you want someone who is competent in looking after children, and someone that you can trust to do so.

You may have friends and family who has suggested their own babysitters for the job, but every family is different. Each family has their own values and how they run their households. What one babysitter may offer to one family; they won’t fit in with another.

A good first step is to decide what kind of babysitting needs you need covered. Do you just need a casual baby sitter, or do you need to hire a nanny instead?

what level of care – if you just need someone to mind your school aged children for a few hours in the evening, or if you need someone to help care for a newborn baby.

Knowing these before you go on the hunt will make the process even easier for you. Babysitting is not always an easy task, looking for a sitter is exactly the same.

When you start interviewing, it could be a good idea to have the whole family around. This way you can see how the babysitter interacts with your children and how your children respond to them in return. Your sitter could look good on paper, but in person, they might not be the same. But remember, babysitting is supposed to be fun and casual. Don’t make the interviewing process too ridged and scary.
