- Be patient
- Not all nannies, housekeepers and household managers can do well without help in the beginning. You may need to "fertilize" them a little bit at first. In other words, take the time to tenderly train them to grow with your families changing schedule and or needs.
- Give them plenty of "food" to grow each week. In other words, tell them what you like and dislike about their work.
- Each year brings on new challenges, compromises and agreements. Be flexible.

Growing Flowers Is Like Hiring A Nanny

Do Online Nanny Sites Really Work? "Do It Yourself Websites!"
"Do It Yourself" Online Nanny Sites Are Popping Up Everywhere
- Is this really safe?
- Does it really work?
- How long can I expect my nanny to stay?
- Why does a professional nanny service cost more?
Everyone's looking for shortcuts, ways to cut time and save money. That's a good way to be, but oftentimes people get just the opposite result they wanted. Many don't think twice who will have access into their homes and let alone children! It's something to think about.
Does it really work? Yes, using an online nanny service may work for some families, but it doesn't mean that you are promised a professional nanny who will commit to your family long term. There are no professional coordinators pre-interviewing the nannies on the online-sites before they meet with you. It's a true gamble on your families safety and your personal job if you don't have childcare.
Montly Fees: The online sites provide access to the site for a monthly fee because they know you will probably need it. Most families never saw that one coming! Why do they charge monthly fees? It's because your nanny placement probably will not work out and you will need to access the countless nanny profiles again and again.
Hours: Most families will spend 25+ hours searching, interviewing and then hiring a nanny online. You'll never see an online site provide you with information on how long it will take you to search, check references, conduct background checks, hire, fire and then start the search all over again. Ahh..yes, another wonderful nanny is found and then lost again a few months later and the search starts all over. Another 25+ hours invested again and again. How much is your time really worth?
I receive countless phone calls from parents who are exhausted from using the online sites, but somehow convince themselves that this is the way of the future and the way to save money. It's the "Do It Yourself" mentality, but if they really sat down and counted up all the hours they've invested in the online sites, then they would probably re-think using them. How much is your time really worth? Is it worth losing your sanity over? What about losing your own job because you keep losing your childcare provider?

Don't waste your valuable time sifting through endless nanny profiles that are sometimes plagiarized, counterfeit, misleading, or even fraudulent.
