Hiring a Nanny
Posted by admin on 27 Jan 2008 at 09:20 pm | Tagged as: Hiring A Nanny
Whether you are considering a live-in nanny or a live-out nanny, full-time or part-time, you must develop a “job description” before you venture into the actual search. You also need to prepare a balanced plan between responsibilities and expectations from the newly hired nanny.
Do you have more questions? Visit our Forum: CAREGIVERS in CANADA.
Usually, the nanny’s duties include: care for the children, housework and meal preparations. The priority in performing these duties is pretty much set by the children’s age and your personal preference.
Many parents will ask the nanny to concentrate on the child (baby, infant, toddler): to talk to, play with or go for a walk in the park rather then the household chores. Therefore, it is imperative to outline and discuss in details (during the interview) the role and the duties of the nanny, as you see them.
For the nanny position to be more attractive, you have to think of a balanced package to offer your new recruit. A fair compensation for the nanny’s efforts includes a fair wages based on her personal experience and the going market rate, a medical insurance coverage and some extras on major holidays (Christmas, etc.)

Dear Family,
My name is Nataly, I’m 24 and I’m from Ukraine.I would be happy to become a live-in-caregiver for you child(children) and a helper to you in your everyday householding.
My experience in child care began in 2000 when I lived in PA,USA as an exchange student in a host family with 2 kids(8 y.o. boy and 4 y.o. girl).After I came back to Ukraine I started tutoring kids English and I’ve been doing it till now.
In 2007 I graduated from Pedagogical University and earned a Diploma which qualifies me as a Teacher of English,Ukrainian Language and Literature.2006-2007 at my last year of studies I worked in a primary school as a Teacher of English.
In summer time I worked in summers camps for children 4 years in a row and really enjoyed spending 24 hours per day with children.So I know what it’s like to be responsible for 15 kids day and night.
Also I babysit my niece from the time she was 1 year old till now when she’s 9.And for 6 months I was a “caregiver” to her when she was 6 till her parents worked abroad.
I don’t have my own children yet,but I hope that one day I will have 2 kids.I believe that kids are the biggest treasure in our life and they deserve the best.
If you ask me why I consider myself to be a good live-in-caregiver I can say that I have neccessary experience in child care and in living in a family abroad,have very good knowledge of English,love pets and can take care of them, am a good cook.Also may add that I’m a non-smoker,enjoy swimming,embroidery,play piano and guitar,sing and draw.And I can teach your child all of it as well.
If you consider me to be the right caregiver for your children write me to nataly_barko@yahoo.com or call me +38(097)401-5997
My best wishes to you and your family,
Nataly
