Useful tips on finding nannies
 
Just like Sydney and Melbourne,  Canberra is also one of the busiest cities in Australia. Busy parents in this city do not find time to take care of their children, nanny Canberra is the only option left to them. Finding a nanny in a huge city like Canberra is difficult, your nanny should be very professional in taking care of your children (Recommended list of nannies in Canberra). Many people who had taken a wrong decision on choosing nanny for their children regret in future. But, if you know well about your needs and explain everything to the nanny candidate it will help you in finding a good nanny to suit your needs and requirements. But it is not very easy, so some tips on what are the things to consider while choosing are as follows:

Get clear ideas about the experiences of candidates as choosing the right nanny is very important. Only an experienced nanny knows the method of handling children, how to treat them, how to take care of them etc. Nanny who is not experienced may not know well about child spit-ups and tantrums and they may get angry with the child when something like that happens. It is recommended to ask different questions like how nanny will take care of the child during tantrums, how she will feed and teach your child, what she will do when the child is sick, whether she will change diapers when child is wet etc. Teenage babysitters are also available who take care of children on part-time basis, but if you have to be away from the home every day because of your work, then you hire a full time nanny for the well-being of your child or children.

While hiring a nanny make sure that she lives in your neighborhood or at least close to your area. This will help you in case of emergencies, she will arrive at your place quickly since she will be familiar with different routes to reach your home. Sometimes nanny is perfect in all the aspects but she has to travel about hours to reach your place, in that case you can ask her if she can stay at your home like a live-in nanny. Hope all these tips are helpful to you on finding the best  nanny for your family.

I think we have to check about nanny's background, experiences, and qualifications as well. I know there are good nannies who does not have experiences but they do have good qualifications - I would say the fresh nannies, they too be a good option. Based on my experience, we hired a nanny who has no experiences but had good child care qualifications and knowledge and she worked well for us on caring our little Ryan and still we continue with her. On the other hand, when I read some bad news about nanny activities, we (me and my hubby) decided to fix a nanny cam in our home and we usually monitor it often and it seems she is a perfect mom for Ryan than a nanny... so we are happy...!!

I agree. But hiring inexperienced nannies is higher risk...!! We did it, but it our nanny didn't work well for us and she herself wanted to move, so we are in process of finding new one. The previous nanny was agreed to all terms and conditions and she says she is passionate, but her acts are vice-versa... It is tedious :(
