Nanny Agencies offering peace of mind towards the safety of your child

The problem of child kidnapping from the house has increased at high speed during the recent years. This undoubtedly is the matter of concern that how someone can kidnap a little child who is not even able to walk properly from his home. The most surprising element of such incidences is that the persons involved in kidnapping the children were personally appointed by the parents themselves, after interviewing them.  This, certainly gives rise to the question that where did the parents failed in interviewing the person they hired for looking after their children.

Well, there could be lots of reasons behind this failure of parents, but the most important reason behind the emergence of such incidences is lack of understanding the nature of a person in just the first meeting. Surprisingly, this inefficiency is found in all of us, and it is very hard to predict about somebody’s nature while meeting him for the first time. Therefore, when the parents meet a person they wish to appoint for taking care of the child. Anyhow, before proceeding ahead, let us find out the point where parents did the mistake of appointing a wrong person as a caretaker of their child.

As a general practice, all parents searching for a nanny publish their requirement in the local news paper and receive the applications from prospective nannies accordingly. After which depending upon their requirement they conduct the interviews of the person whom they think suitable for their child. During the interview they although, check his certificates and other documents, but still they forget to get them cross checked by local police station. This is mainly because they are not aware about the process and also lots of people hesitate in visiting the police station and believe on the statements presented by the person.

Once a person is appointed to look after the child, they get assured about the safety of their little one and even do not hesitate in sharing the secrets of their family with him. Taking the advantage of this, sometimes such persons kidnap the child and ask for money from the parents. This is something unexpected for the parents and the society. The situation becomes more serious for the parents whose little ones are killed for their inability of paying the money to the kidnapper.

On the other side if these parents had hired the services of some nanny agency, then not only their child would have been in the safe hands, but also their hard earned income would have been also safe. This mainly because the nanny agencies follow appropriate method of hiring the nannies and providing their services to the parents. These agencies not only properly conduct the interviews of the nannies but also get their background cross checked by the local police station, but also get their background cross checked by the references referred by them. Moving ahead, these agencies do not force the parents to appoint the particular nanny suggested by them but provide them the list of nannies registered with them.

In short it can be said that hiring the services of nanny agencies offers you the peace of mind towards the safety of your child and also towards your assets.

Which nanny is best for you: Live in or Live out?

Despite of the fact that nannies have become the necessity for all families with little kids in the current scenario, there are lots of people who exactly do not know what type of nanny they want for them? Well, this might surprise you, but it is the reality of the today’s generation or the couples that have recently become the parents of a kid. For them a nanny is the person who will take care of their child while they are out of the home for accomplishing their professional engagements. Anyhow, this problem is not with such parents, but there are lots of people just need a nanny to look after their kid but do not know exactly know about their requirements.

Undoubtedly, the job of nanny is to take of children while their parents are out of home. But, depending upon the requirements of the parents, they are basically divided into two categories, namely live in nannies and live out nannies. And, interestingly depending upon the types of duties performed by them there is a difference in their charges.

Live in nannies: These nannies are basically the nannies that live in the house along with the child throughout the day and also help the parents in accomplishing the different chores related to the child even when they are at home.  Generally, when the parents are at home, they have to accomplish various other tasks like cooking meals of the younger one, washing his clothes, taking him out in the evening etc.  Along with this they also have to look after their other responsibilities as an impact of which despite of being at home they are not able to spend time with their kid.

Therefore, with an intention of spending substantial time with the kid after coming to home, they require the service of a nanny who could live with them and assist in accomplishing some tasks.  But, as the nanny is required to live with them, they also have certain responsibilities towards her. When a family hires the services of a live in nanny then it should also make proper arrangements for her living and look after her various needs. Always remember that when a nanny lives in your home, she is also like your family member and therefore should be given the same respect as other members of the family enjoy. As she stays in your home, it does not mean that she is your servant, she also has her personal life and therefore requires some space to retain her privacy. When you hire a live nanny, always try to provide her a separate room that is furnished with a personal television and necessary furniture. Even if you cannot provide her television, then also the room should be well furnished with mandatory furniture. After coming back to home, you should give her some time to go out and at-least let her go and meet her family once a week.

In, short when you hire a nanny to live in with you always try to look after her basic needs as you look after the needs of your family members.

Live out nannies: A live out nanny is one who stays during the specific hours the day with your child looking his various needs and leaves for home after the parents return back to the home. But, hiring a live out nanny does not mean that the parents become careless from their responsibility towards their child. It is seen that there are lots of parents who think that as there is nanny to look after the child at home during their absence do not come back to the home on time and spend long hours out of home.

This practice is against the ethics, a nanny is also a human being who has her family and other responsibilities. Getting late because of professional engagements once or twice in two-three months can be adjustable by the nanny but following this practice on regular basis is not ethically good. Here also one thing which needs to be mentioned here that sometimes there are regular meetings in office, at that time it is the responsibility of the parents to let the nanny know about this and offer her some courtesy benefits like making arrangements for dropping her at home or offering her some financial assistance.

On the basis of above description I am sure, the prospective parents will be able decide the type of nanny they would like to hire for their child.
