It can be a daunting task to narrow down prospective nannies for the return to work, but with a few tips, the process can go smoothly. Take some time to screen the candidates first, focusing on the desired rate of pay, availability, distance from the home, level of experience, language skills, and professionalism in reaching out. Phone interviews should include a discussion on past experience, what they like about being a nanny, salary expectations, and other critical deciding factors. An in-person interview can be a great way to read body language and get a little more personal while conducting a background check and checking with references can confirm the basics of employment history and personal job experience.
