Time has come that your maternity leave is over and you definitely need someone to take care of your new born child because you really need to go back to work. Lucky for those people who got a reliable relative living within them because they can just easily pass on the baby sitting task without having any trust issues. These relatives can be old maid aunts or not too old grandparents who are just so fond of taking care of children.
However, there are people who are left with no choice but to hire nannies or doulas. The thing about doing it would be the assurance that these people will take care of your child properly. They aren’t related with your family and will just do the job for the sake of money. You would be allowing them to live with you inside your house thus giving the person all the access of whatever you have.
There have been a lot of scary stories of nannies becoming robbers or those maltreating the children of their employers when they’re not at home and you definitely wouldn’t want it to happen to your own family.
When you’re planning to hire a nanny it is very important to be vigilant and always be one step ahead of time. It’s not a guarantee that these individuals are carrying crime clearances because these documents can now be faked easily. It would be much better if you can obtain recommendation from your trusted friends.
It’s just so hard to trust a stranger right away. During her first few weeks in your house, maintain distance and continue to evaluate them. Allow an open communication and let them feel that you can be trusted as well. It’s a two-way journey, and everything should be give and take. Keep in mind that your child’s safety is at stake.
