What to expect from a nanny who looks after your children
If you are hiring a nanny for childcare then you need to make it very clear about the childcare that you expect. Tell the nanny how old your child or children are, and make sure they have the relevant experience in looking after that age group. Let them know if you expect only child care, at home, or if you also want them to take the kids to and from school, to extra mural activities, and so on. If you want them to do the grocery shopping and the cooking, and the cleaning, you need to be clear. Some nannies only look after the children, others will include cleaning and cooking. If you ensure that both you and the nanny are clear about the tasks they have to do, you will not encounter any issues. Providing you have hired a nanny whose references you have checked properly. And this is up to the agency.
Part time nannies
If you need a full time nanny, use a nanny agency. If you need a nanny on an occasional basis or if you need a nanny on just one or two days a week, or when you have an unexpected meeting, use the same nanny agency. Build up a relationship with the nanny agency so that you can always get the same nanny, provided you like them and provided that your children like them.
You will always find a good and experienced nanny through a nanny agency in Orange County California, if you use a reputable nanny agency.
