• CPR certification, first aid training or experience working with special care needs if applicable.
• In house only or someone who can be sure the kids get their transportation needs met. For example, being picked up from school, driven to extracurricular activities, or a simple time to play at a park.
• Full time or part time.

• Cleaning, laundry, and cooking requirements if any.
• Salary range.

2. Start Looking for a Nanny. When soliciting candidates, you can advertise on your own or seek out nanny employment agencies. Going through an agency does mean more fees, but a lot of the leg work is also done. Application processing and additional resources are usually a benefit in going through an agency.
3. Interview Prospective Nannies or Babysitters. Even if you go through an agency, you are well within your rights to conduct your own interview. Have your questions prepared before the interview begins. Take notes, as sometimes answers, both pro and con, can get convoluted with multiple interviews with different applicants. Some experts say that two interviews are optimal. Hold your initial interview with basics to weed out the potential candidates that simply do not have the attributes you require. After which, hold a face to face interview at a local coffee shop or something similar. Be sure they are legally able to work in the U.S. and then fire off your questions.
4. Questions to Ask a Nanny Candidate. Ask the prospective nannies unrestricted questions to determine what kind of nanny they are. Below are some examples.

– Explain why you chose to become a nanny?
– How do you like to entertain babies and toddlers?
– What is your response to when a young child throws a tantrum?
– What methods and solutions do you apply when discipline is necessary?
– Have you had experience with emergency situations? What actions did you take, and what was the outcome?
– Where there any circumstances where you didn’t see eye to eye with a previous employer, and how did you react?
