Learn2 Find and Hire a Nanny
(8 steps)
Hire a nanny who does more than sit!


You might be considering in-home, or nanny, care for you children. Many parents consider in-home care to be the best care for their child. You may be hesitant about putting infants in a child care center. In-home care can provide flexibility to accommodate busy schedules and children's after school activities.

Some parents feel that in-home care is too expensive and worry about back-up care if the provider is sick. You'll have to weigh the benefits and disadvantages and make a decision. Talk to some other parents and see if you can get a feel for their experiences.

Choosing an in-home provider can be a little bit simpler if you follow these steps. If you have a plan, you'll find a quality provider with whom you'll feel comfortable. So what's the plan? This 2torial will show you how to advertise, interview, check references, set household rules and make a contract.

Before you begin

Weigh your options. There are three main types of child care: child care centers, family day-care homes (a person who takes care of several children in their own home) and in-home (nanny) care. Make sure that in-home care is the best decision for you before you get into a situation that's not suitable for you.

Remember: you know what's best for your children. Following some simple steps will ensure that you have all of the information you need to make an informed decision.
