Think about your childcare needs before you begin your search for nanny. The basic job of a nanny is to protect, love, play with and teach the children in her care and to share that experience with you. Finding a nanny is not hard; the trick is finding an appropriate, qualified and professional nanny.
Where to find an appropriate nanny
1. Classifieds- Check the local newspaper for qualified nannies looking for work.
2. You can also take help from your friends and neighbors. If they have a nanny, they can probably give you the name and address of the agency from where they found their nanny or can give any tips on finding a nanny.
3. Nanny placement agencies are yet another option when it comes to finding a nanny. It is a great way to locate a number of high quality, qualified individuals that are looking employment. In addition to putting you in contact with them, they are also likely to provide you with the background screening that should be done on a nanny before being hired as well.
4. You can also find a nanny online via the internet. You can register yourself as a member online, which enables you to search the database of appropriate nannies.
5. By word-of-mouth-More than half of nannies working, find their job through word-of-mouth referrals. This can be a wonderful and cheap method of finding an appropriate nanny.
You can find the best nanny in terms of qualification and experience, but if she doesn’t have a good relationship with and your children, she won’t be the right nanny for you. For this, you have to do a little bit of homework. Write a detailed list of job requirements and discuss them with your nanny. Be honest about your working hours and evening babysitting. Explain your views on discipline, hygiene, nutrition and interaction with other children. Provide a detailed description of her wages and other benefits. Observe her how she interacts with the babies; ask her questions if you have any doubts and encourage her to talk and discuss everything with you.
It is a nice thing to find a wonderful person to take care of your children, to keep them safe and loved, while you yourself must be elsewhere.

Modeling Integrity as a Person and as a Parent

Babies Care
Once the babies eyes are opened (which should occur on the 11-12 days, but some take less/more), they should figure out how the bottle works.
