Nannies on Call thrives because of the dedication and enthusiasm of our hundreds of Extraordinary Nannies. We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the on call nannies that are celebrating their “Nannyversaries” this month:
Start somewhere there is a lot of open space. Ask the children to think of a traffic light and ask them to define Red, Yellow and Green. If they don’t know, say “Green light means go fast,” “Yellow light means go slowly” and “Red Light means stop.”
Divorce has become such a widespread issue that it affects many families nowadays. As a nanny, this means that you may encounter families and children who are facing challenges that come about due to the impact of divorce. As each family is different, each situation that is impacted by divorce will also present different obstacles and challenges.
Whether or not you plan to utilize the services of a nanny agency, you should come up with a “profile” that matches the exact person who you are seeking prior to starting the search for a nanny. This profile will be crucial to find the perfect match for your family’s needs and personality. Many parents find it hard to pinpoint the characteristics that they are seeking in a nanny, but it is crucial to know exactly what (or who) you are looking for before you start the search. This is the person who will be in charge of the safe keeping of your children while you are gone!

It is always an interesting experience when you meet your clients for the first time. There are a few little butterflies that zoom around, while you wonder, “What are the parent’s expectations going to be? Will they have routines? What are kids like? Are they high energy or book readers? Will they like the bag of ‘tricks’ that I have planned for them?”
“Nanny cams” have become quite the controversial subject for a variety of different reasons. In private homes, the question of whether an individual’s privacy is being invaded comes up, but in organizations such as daycares, parents are glad to have the opportunity to “check in” on their children through means of complicated surveillance systems that are placed in the daycare facilities and linked in with the Internet.
