On some sites nanny applicants are able to browse some databases of available nanny jobs and answer ads posted by families in need of a nanny or a sitter. If you are looking for a nanny job and are an avid internet user, post your resume and answer ads with care. Think wisely. You need to know a few astute safety tips when seeking out a job online.

Do not post your phone number publicly. The reason is quiet obvious. If your number is listed, it would be so easy to track you down using a reverse phone directory on the internet. Your home address would automatically be known. This may not be the case. Think of receiving a lot of unwanted prank calls. You would not like that. So, to avoid such agitation, don’t just give out your phone number. Only give it once you have decided on an employer.

Clearly, you wouldn’t dream of having stalkers. To avoid such dilemma, refrain from posting all kinds of personal contact information on your online profiles. Use an arbitrator email provider like Gmail, hotmail or yahoo. Always think of your safekeeping.

With reverse phone directory one is able to track down somebody given only a phone number. It was designed to find people by their name or their phone number-landline or cellular number, unlisted or unpublished. The information extracted from this may include present and previous home addresses. You may want to run one with the potential employer you have in mind. Do this just to see if they are really the owner of the number that they have given you. You can use it as a verification of their identity.

Your potential employer would want to meet with you and conduct an interview. It would be better if your first meet up would be at a public place. However some parents would want to do the interview at their homes. Should this be the case, let somebody know where you are going. You may also opt to bring the friend during the interview. You can introduce your friend to your potential employer at their front door. If the family invites your friend over, then your friend can come inside with you. If this is not the case your friend can wait for you in the car or at some nearby café or coffee shop. And remember, it is okay to ask the family for references too. Talk to their former nanny or childcare provider if at all possible before you accept the position.

Try to keep these few precautionary measures in mind to be out of mischief in your nanny job search. Don’t be a victim of a mugging, sexual assault, or worse. This should not scare you as these are only counsels. However, it is highly advised that heed these suggestions for your own benefit.
