When hiring a nanny, it is important to create a list of all job requirements and duties before making sure candidates have the desired training, years of experience, and an hourly wage that is within the household budget. Consideration of desired traits that align with the personalities of the children is also important. A scoring system can be helpful in assessing the qualifications of an appropriate nanny. A few traits to consider when assessing a nanny include whether they lead by example, listen to the children, and use positive communication techniques.
