How to Hire a Nanny – Super or Not

Author: admin

Dec 31



If only hiring a nanny were as easy as opening your door and having Super Nanny walk in and take charge. Of course, when it comes to Reality TV, the families are carefully chosen from among thousands of eager applicants. In the real world, however, you, the family, has to choose the nanny. Where to begin?

Nanny or Daycare?

Your first step would be deciding which option fits better for you and your family. Should you hire a nanny or send your children to daycare? One plus for daycare is the opportunity for your children to learn socialization. They may learn some social rules earlier, such as sharing. Another plus, which came out in a recent study by the National Institutes of Health, is that children in high-quality daycare before kindergarten had higher scores in vocabulary in the fifth grade.

The downside of daycare, which also came out in the same study, was the correlation between daycare and increased behavior problems later in school, although the report stated that both the increase in behavior problems and vocabulary was small.

For many people, there are other advantages to hiring a nanny over daycare:

o Health – infections in one child can be easily spread to the other children in daycare. At home with a nanny there is less exposure to other sick children.

o Personal Attention – children will receive more personal attention from a nanny than when in a daycare setting.

o Flexibility – hiring a nanny can be more suitable for parents who leave early or arrive home late and do not want their child to be shuffled from one caregiver to another. A nanny can also take care of a child who is ill whereas daycares often, for the health of other children, refuse care to children who are sick.

What to Look for in a Nanny

So you’ve made the decision that hiring a nanny is a better child-care solution for your child and family situation – now what? How do you go about finding a qualified nanny?

There are many places to look for a nanny, such as placing an ad in the classified section of the newspaper, referrals from friends, or an agency which specializes in nannies and other domestic workers. Going the agency route may be a bit more expensive, but agencies usually have a screening process in place and do their own background checks. If you choose to place an ad in the newspaper or use a referral from a friend, it’s always wise to do your own background check.

Before interviewing prospective nannies, know exactly what type of services you are seeking. Do you want a live-in nanny, day-time nanny, full-time, part-time or on call? What is your budget? Will you want the nanny to clean the house, cook meals or transport your children to after-school activities or play dates? What other responsibilities are you looking for in a nanny? This can help when it comes time for the interview.

What Should You Ask?

When interviewing the prospective nanny do ask for the following:

1) References with contact numbers. In addition to personal references, ask for references from other families she’s worked for.

2) Driver’s license or other I.D. You want to know everything’s current.

3) Any traffic tickets or accidents in her past? If driving your children to activities is important, you want to know her driving history. If she’s using her own car you also want to know that it is in good working order.

4) Educational experience. Does she have any special training such as childhood education, cooking, etc.

5) Knowledge of first-aid. Many parents want a nanny who knows how to administer first aid such as CPR. You also want to know if the nanny knows how to tend to your children should they become sick.

6) What is her parenting style? What is her approach to behavior issues?

7) What type of activities will she engage the child in?

8) Ask about her least-pleasant experience as a nanny. If the situation sounds a lot like your family situation (perhaps the parents often worked late) then perhaps this isn’t the nanny for you.

When you find someone you think has potential, do arrange a meeting between the prospective nanny and your children. Observe how they react to one another. Does the prospective nanny seem warm and natural to your children, or anxious and tense? Your observation is a great tool in selecting the right person to take care of your children.

Potty Training Boys Tips

Author: admin

Dec 31



Potty training boys can sometimes take more time and patience than training girls. Some experts and parents believe it is because mothers tend to do more of the toilet training of children than fathers, making it easier for little girls to emulate the process. Whatever the reason is, potty training a boy may take you more than time, so you need to be prepared to be patient.

Tip # 1 The first tip is to make sure your son is ready.

Watch for signs of readiness such as your son being interested in using the bathroom or toilet, wanting to imitate older brothers and sisters, showing signs of independence, having the ability to follow simple instructions, and responding well to positive reinforcement.

Tip #2 Help your son get familiar and comfortable with the potty

You will need to decide whether to use an adapter seat or child size potty. If your son shows a strong interest in either one, go with that choice. Some children may prefer having their very own potty that you can help them personalize.

Tip #3 Practice

Have your little boy practice sitting on the toilet to get familiar with it. If using a child potty you can make it accessible in the room he plays in and remind him when it is potty time.

Tip #4 Reward

Reward your little boy when he successfully uses the potty. Give him a favorite treat or big kid privilege and praise him.

Tip #5 Make the potty training process fun.

As a parent you need to be patient and consistent. Make the process enjoyable by reading to your child while he is sitting on the toilet. He may also enjoy watching videos or having a favorite doll or stuffed animal with him.

Tip #6 Use big boy underwear

Take your son shopping and let him pick out his favorite underwear. This may be a big incentive to not have to wear diapers anymore.

Tip #7 Be patient

Be prepared for accidents and setbacks. Do not pressure your boy or punish him for accidents. This will only cause stress and will not be successful in helping your child lean to use the toilet.

Potty training boys does take patience and persistence, but it will be well worth it when you can find get rid of the diapers and get your son potty trained for good.

Choosing A Good Dog Sitter – It Really Is a Contract

Author: admin

Dec 31



Never decide on a sitter your dog has not met. Have the sitter come to your home if the sitting will be at your home. Take your dog to the sitter’s location if the sitting will be done there. Your dog can tell you more about a sitter than all the references can. If the dog warms up to the sitter, that is a good sign. A good sitter and the dog will begin to interact with each other almost immediately. If the dog gives the sitter a dirty look, shuns the sitter, or snarls at the sitter, you need not waste time with more interviewing. Call someone else.

Before the sitter arrives, review a form for a pet care contract. This will remind you of the important matters to discuss with the sitter. A quality pet legal form at a modest price is well worth the cost. Choose a form called “Pet Care Agreement” for your contract. The form can be found online, and you can save it to your email address. It can be used over and over again.

After introducing your dog to the sitter, a discussion should take place. Listen closely to the questions the sitter asks. A sitter who loves dogs will want to know such things as what the dog likes to eat, when the dog eats, when and where the dog goes walking, what the dog does for fun, who the dog’s vet is, and whether the dog has any health issues. A responsible sitter will want to know how to reach you in an emergency. If the sitter does not ask these questions, then you should be sure to share such information.

Next, find out the applicant’s experience with dog sitting? Experience is not always required because some experienced sitters may have preconceived ideas that you do not share. Do get references. You’re about to leave “a member of the family” with this person, and in some cases the person will have access to your home. Find out how much the sitter charges and what the sitter will do for those charges.

Then show the sitter a copy of your pet care contract form, and begin filling it out together. A short form can cover the important terms of the agreement. A really long form will scare the sitter away. The form will guide the two of you, the owner and the caretaker, through the important terms. The form may provide language in capital letters that limits the sitter’s liability and you may wish to change some of that language. You may wish to add language that limits your liability in the event that the dog should injure the sitter. You can change the language when you save the form to your email address.

Give the sitter time to take the filled-out form home and to review it with a lawyer, if the sitter wishes, before signing it. The sitter may not understand that a written contract for dog care is important. The sitter should not feel rushed to sign the contract.

Interviewing a Sitter For the Safety of Your Infant

Author: admin

Dec 30



The process of hiring a babysitter for an infant or baby is often scarey for any parent. If you have an infant or young child that doesn’t yet talk or cannot tell you what’s happened while you’re away, your upfront screening is serious baby safety business.

First and foremost, read a lot of publications on interviewing a babysitter. Although these tips are great, this is by no means a comprehensive guide.

Next, decide on what you need in a babysitter. It’s good to have a list of non-negotiables so you can visualize your ideal candidate. Also, put together a list of requirements you need in addition to the interviews. You will want to consider a background check and a number of references among other things. Never use personal friends of the candidate as references. Keep in mind you are not just interviewing and investigating the babysitter for baby safety specifics, but need to weigh virtually everyone your baby or small child will have contact with while in the care of the sitter. This includes other children that she may be caring for in addition to yours and anyone else that might participate in the care of your child. For example the sitter may have teenagers that help after school or other family members that live in the home. The more people that will have access to your child, the more thorough and deep you need to dig into the total environment and the stability of everyone involved.

Listed below are good interview questions to ask. Remember you do not want to give away your preferences to the person you are interviewing or they will simply give you back the answer you want to hear. If you say you are looking for a high energy person, they likely will work to convince you how they are energetic but in reality might sit in front of the TV all day. Pay attention to both verbal and non verbal feedback in order to find out the person’s hot buttons, level of confidence, sincerity and trustworthyness. Your goal is to peel back the layers and really find out about the person you are entrusting your precious child. The more comfortable you can make the person during the interview, the more likely you will get good information about the person and the care they will provide your child.

Tell me about where you grew up and your family growing up?

What is your experience caring for children and what ages of children have you watched in the past?

Walk me through a typical day at your home,

What would you do if my child broke something in your home?

Do you wear a seatbelt when you drive?

What are your long term plans? Moving? Looking for a job?

Will you be transporting my child anywhere while babysitting? If so, ask about the vehicle and car seat and seatbelts.

What are your views on discipline? How would you handle a crying baby?

What are your favorite activities would you do with a child the age of mine?

What do you like to do in your spare time? Any hobbies?

What televisions shows do you enjoy watching?

Tell me some of the rules in your home?

What was the most infuriating situation you ever came across while babysitting?

Do you have any pet peeves about parents you’ve worked for in the past?

Have you ever had to handle an emergency while babysitting? What happened and how did you handle it?

Do you have any first aid experience?

Who lives in the home or visits regularly that might care for my child while in your home?

Do you or does anyone in your home smoke?

What is your policy if my child is sick?

What pets do you have? (don’t assume because you can’t see them they don’t have pets)

What ages of children are you most comfortable with?

How do you feel about phone calls or if I pick up my child without calling early if I get off work early for example?

At the end of the interview offer to answer any questions the candidate might have. Usually at this point it will have gone one way or the other. If you really feel good about the candidate you should clear your other requirements like background check, driver’s license, and references. Validate that the candidate also wants to move forward and if so, arrange to bring your child over to see how the potential sitter and your child get along, as well as how your child does with any other children of the sitter or children the sitter will be watching in addition to your child.

Babysitters? Listen to Your Children

Author: admin

Dec 30



Families depend a lot on babysitters. This is because they are helping to raise our children into young adults. We want the best for our children and they expect the best from us. We need to know and understand what is going on when we are not around. Who better to ask then our children?

If your children are anything like mine, they could tell you things from the time they were three years old. People think that children that age don’t comprehend what is going on. The truth is they know more than we ever thought was possible. Because of this, I learned to ask my children questions a long time ago and take into consideration what they had to say. This is especially true when it came to babysitters.

I do this because why would I want to keep a babysitter around that my children do not get along with. I want my children to be happy in all situations. If your children are unhappy with there surroundings, they will find ways to let you know. They could act out and not listen to you or they could start throwing tantrums when they never have before.

I myself have learned this from experience. When my girls were three and four years old, I had a young babysitter. She had younger siblings of her own whom she had watched all the time. According to other people, she was a very responsible girl. So, against my better judgment, I agreed to let her watch my children on the weekends. After a few weeks I started to notice changes in my girls. Needless to say they weren’t good changes. It was harder to get them to bed and put there toys away. I just thought it was a stage they were going through.

Then one night at dinner, the girls started telling us they **** their babysitter. What? They are too little to **** anyone. From listening to my girls I found out that the babysitter would make them play in their rooms all night by themselves. She would have no interaction with them what so ever. Pretty much they would play until they feel asleep then she would go up and put them in their beds.

Another experience we had was when we used a co-workers friend as a babysitter. One time when my girls were over there, the two younger girls came home with a bruise. At first you think it is from playing. Having a talk with the girls I learned that one was pushed into the doorknob of a kitchen door and the other was dropped. Be this by accident or not, the babysitter refused to talk to me about what truly happened. Needless to say, my girls no longer see this babysitter.

Not all of the things you learn are bad. We have found a wonderful part time babysitter that my girls adore. She plays with them and is interested in what they have to say. My girls tell me that she doesn’t sit and watch TV the whole time. She draws with them and they make cookies and treats together. Whenever I mention this babysitter’s name, the girls are ecstatic. They are always excited to have her around.

So what is the point to my examples? Talk and listen to your children. They are the ones that are around the babysitter the most. Remember not to jump to conclusions. After talking to your children, if there is something wrong, be respectful and get the babysitters side of the story. There are those occasional times when the children get mad because they didn’t get their way. Always listen and use your best judgment to find the perfect babysitter for your children. Also remember to let your babysitter know when they are doing a great job. Everyone needs that little boost of confidence once in a while.

Three Top Rules to Make Sure That You Have the Best Babysitter in Town

Author: admin

Dec 29



here are many valid reasons for having to hire a babysitter. However, one thing is true in any case – to hire a babysitter can be a very daunting task. Hence, this article will discuss three most important guidelines on how to hire a babysitter who you can trust and rely on.

The first consideration is hygiene. While interviewing the prospective babysitter, smell his or her breath, check the nails, and see if the hair is well-combed. Although this may sound utterly mundane, ensuring that your babysitter has good hygiene better protects your child from sicknesses and other maladies.

Furthermore, it is important for the babysitter to practice good hygiene because it means that it is more likely for him or her to do the same to your child. Remember that the main purpose for hiring babysitters is to have someone to take care of your child in a way that best mimics the way you would.

The second consideration should be the abundance of relevant experience. The prospective babysitter must not only know the basics of the job, but also understand that unexpected scenarios may come up. When these occasions arise, the babysitter must be able to make quick value judgment about how to solve them.

For example, changing diapers seems to be a very easy task. However, the babysitter should know what to do if he takes a soiled diaper off and then discovers a disturbingly reddish rash on the baby’s bottoms. The babysitter’s ability to deal with such can best be ensured via experience.

The third consideration is feedback from past employers. If possible, choose a babysitter who is tried-and-tested by people you know and trust. More than just technical ability, it is important that babysitters have the proper manners and a genuine heart for children.

Remember that your child will be with the babysitter for hours on end. Thus, the values that the babysitter possesses have a high chance of being imparted to your child. Furthermore, the babysitter should have a real passion at caring for kids. If he or she does, then you can rest assured that he or she can last for long time. Of course, no one would want to change babysitters too often.

With all these three taken care of, you can be more certain that the babysitter you will hire is the babysitter of your dreams.

Pet Sitter – How to Choose the Best Pet Sitter for Your Dog

Author: admin

Dec 29



Humans love pets. As a matter of fact, even pets are treated as immediate members of the family who is dressed, fed, nourished and taken care of well enough. If you have a pet and you feel guilty when you need to go out of town or to work without someone taking care of him, it would be worthy if you could consider hiring the services of a pet sitter who can provide the best care for your dog. Certainly, it is important that you choose a reliable one who will treat your pet pooch as affectionately like how you do it. In order to keep up with this, it is important that you learn essential factors that you need to consider when choosing the person who will baby sit your pet while you away.

Since you will be leaving the pet sitter in your house simply because you prefer getting a pet sitter instead of taking your dog to the pet sitting facility, it is important that you choose someone you can really trust. This is not only with keeping your pet safe but also the entire contents of your home. So as to keep up with this, it is a must that you conduct an interview and verify the identity of the person you are getting to pet sit your pooch while you are away. It would be ideal to choose a pet sitter from a reputable pet sitting service company so that you know where to get in touch with in case of concerns and complaints.

Someone who is trained on how to deal with accidents usual with dogs and strategies that are appropriate during these events is a good choice. Someone who is well informed about veterinarian service and one with a good training on this is definitely someone you should go for. It would also be great if you spend sufficient time to throw questions pertaining to how he or she can secure your pet dog and your home so as to avoid accidents and possible burglary incidents in the house. Doing this would provide you the ease of mind that your home and dog is safe while you are not around.

Choose a pet sitter who has a backup plan in the event that he or she is unable to arrive to take care of your dog due to some problems like sickness or other viable reasons that prevented her to come to take care of your pet. This is why it is ideal that you choose a pet sitter who is employed in a reliable pet sitting company. If the pet sitter is affiliated with a company offering this service, the company is sure to be able to send someone in place of the pet sitter who is unable to attend to your dog due to unexpected circumstances.

After you have made sure that all of these factors have been considered, you can safely say that your dog is in the good hands of a dependable pet sitter who will take care of him and your home while you are not around.

Choosing a Pet Sitter – What to Look For

Author: admin

Dec 29



Choosing a great pet sitter is important to you and your pets. You want someone who is reliable, trustworthy, does what you ask, and most of all, is affectionate with the furry and feline members of your family. You want a pet sitter who loves your pets almost as much as you do and will go the extra mile if your pets have a medical emergency. You want someone your pets are happy with too!

The first thing you should do with a potential pet sitter is schedule a meet and greet at your home. This is the time for you, the pet sitter, and your pets to all get acquainted. This will take some time initially, but it’s time well spent and will give you a chance to ask questions, be comfortable with your decision, and start the communication ball rolling. The pet sitter will certainly ask you lots of questions about your pets; feeding, walking, vet info, etc, but there are some important items for you to cover at the initial meeting.

1. Ask about the pet sitter’s background. How were they trained? How long have they been a pet sitter? What other training do they have, such as Red Cross pet first aid and CPR?

Previous lines of work? Other interests? Do they live close? What is their home address? Email address? Chat them up! As a pet sitter on the other end of these conversations, I have found out that one client’s ex-husband used to coach my daughter’s soccer team, another client had an upcoming appointment with my husband’s coworker, and yet another client and I used to live in the same town in another state. It’s comforting for everyone to start off on some common ground.

2. When talking with your potential pet sitter, watch how they interact with your pets. Do they give your dog a cursory pat on the head and give all the attention to you? Or do they have a grin on their face as they find the special spot to scratch behind your dog’s ears and then croon to her during lulls in adult conversation? You want to get the sense that they LOVE animals, yours specifically, and they LOVE their job.

3. Do they keep a journal and write in it after each visits? You want to know when they notice some slightly unusual behavior or off-colored poo. Let them know what you consider important enough for an immediate phone call. You need to set the parameters of communication with your pet sitter.

4. Are they insured and bonded? Technically they don’t have to be, at least in my state, but you certainly want them to be. Ask for copies of both documents and check to make sure they are up-to-date.

5. Most pet sitters have written contracts but if they don’t produce any, ask them to do so. Contracts that spell out what they are going to do or not do, is important protection for both of you. Keep copies for yourself.

6. Ask for references! I am amazed at how many people do not ask for references from pet sitters. Pet sitters should have these handy. If they’re good, they have no problem supplying you with this information.

7. What plan do they have in place in case they have a personal emergency? Do they have another petsitter who can cover for them? Also, do they have back-up petsitters for when they manage to work in a vacation, or are you on your own to find one? You can ask to meet any back-up petsitters, after all, it’s your home and your pet.

Following this advice should help you hook up with an amazing pet sitter, one you’re comfortable with and trust. You’ll be happy you did because a good pet sitter will become like a member of your family!

Tips on Finding a Good Baby Sitter

Author: admin

Dec 28



Having trouble finding a good baby sitter? If you are a working mom and is very much tied up with the demands of your current job, you might need the help and the power of a good older baby sitter. By simply posting an ad online or asking your friends to help you find one could immediately provide you with several different applicants who might want to take on the job and responsibility for very different reasons and purposes.

But in order for you to know that you’ve got the best there is when it comes to babysitting your child, here are some tips on what you can actually do:

1) One of the first things you might need to consider is ask help from your trusted friends and other family members like your brothers and sisters who have their own baby sitters. They can surely help you find an older baby sitter who can take care of your child. By asking help from your family members and trusted friends, you can be assured that they will have the compassion for your child and would make sure that your child is taken cared for well.

2) You might also want to spend some time and free your schedule for a day (much better on weekends) and invite prospective baby sitters over to your home. Talk to them and discuss with them their job descriptions and ask them to tell you something about themselves; their family background, educational background, interests, hobbies, current status and the like. By directly conversing with your prospective baby sitter, you can have an idea of what type of person they actually are.

3) Another thing you can do is have your child and the baby sitter meet personally and introduce them to each other. Observe this meeting very carefully and see how well or how negative your child’s response is to the baby sitter. A child relies on first impressions and chances are they can never go wrong with it.

4) You might also want to online babysitter services that match babysitters to parents who need their services. You can view babysitter profiles, comments from parents, and even run background checks on potential sitters.

5) Once you have gathered a list of prospective baby sitters, you should definitely take time and consider all your options on hand. It is also very important that you consider the age of the baby sitter you will hire, as well as her experiences, maturity level and sense of responsibility.

The only way for you to know that you’ve got a good older baby sitter who is prepared to take on the challenges of babysitting is if you actually take the time and do on the spot observations. Do surprise visits to your home and see for yourself how your baby sitter interacts with your child and how your child responds to her.

How to Choose A Pet Sitter

Author: admin

Dec 28



Do you feel like you can’t travel or commit to plans because you have pets at home?

Hiring a pet sitter can help free up your schedule so that you have more freedom. With a house sitter, you can feel free to travel or maintain a flexible schedule while your furry kids will still receive their necessary care and attention.

You should be careful when choosing an animal caretaker, as this is someone you will need to trust to access your home while you aren’t available. Your dog walker will need to be someone you are comfortable with providing care for your beloved animals.

When you find that you need a pet sitter, your initial idea may be to ask your family, friends or neighbors to care for your animals, but this is not always a good idea. While your family or neighbors may already know your pets, they do not necessarily have the time or experience to care for them properly.

The best option for you and your pet is to choose a professional pet sitter or dog walker. These professional care takers have tons of experience with various animals, and are generally well educated about care guidelines and behavior. Additionally, they have flexible schedules so they can easily bend to fit your pets needs. Ideally, your chosen sitter should work for a professional company that is licensed and insured, and your pet sitter should be able to provide you with references.

Your caretaker should be someone that is warm and caring, and that can understand your pets needs and behavior. They should be someone who is responsible, ideally with first-aid or pet cpr experience.

When you find someone, you should provide them with a house key so that they can access your pets while you are away. You should also provide them with contact information, alarm codes if needed, and emergency information. If your pet has medication or special needs, you should inform your pet sitter about these things in full.

Some pet sitting companies will allow you to have a free introductory visit with your local professional in order to ensure that they are a good match for your pet. This is an opportunity for you to interview the pet sitter, and decide if you are comfortable with working with this person. Professional companies usually provide background checks before hiring, and so you should not have to worry about your property being in danger. It is always helpful to ask for references, or ask your local caretaker how long they have been working and what they are most experienced with.
