Plan What does your family need? Do both parents in the home work? Do you need an extra pair of hands around the house? Do you need a full, part-time, temporary or as needed Nanny? Many parents fail to plan. They do not fully experience the benefits of hiring a Nanny because of poor planning. Make sure that you understand your own expectations and what is needed in your home.
Pay What can your family financially afford to pay on a weekly basis? Make sure that you know what the going rates are for a Nanny in your area. The going rate for most nannies ranges from $12 – 15 + per hour. In some areas, you may be able to pay $10 - $15 an hour. Many full-time nannies also receive benefits or extra money towards benefits. Benefits are completely optional but may help fill your position faster if you need someone quickly.
Outcome
If parents spend a little time researching and planning, hiring a Nanny can be a very positive and rewarding experience for both parents and children.
Questions from parents:
Q When should I start looking for a Nanny?
A If you are using an agency, then you should start a minimum of 1-month prior to your needed hire date. Agencies have an advantage of finding you someone quickly because they advertise and interview on a weekly basis. Remember you do not want to rush the hiring process.
If you are searching on your own, then you want to give yourself at least 1-3-months to find someone. Always have a back-up plan. Always remember to PLAN ahead your needs!
Q Why do agencies cost a lot?
Is it cheaper to go on my own?
A Hiring a qualified agency is a small price to pay for the safety, wellbeing, and happiness for your children. With most Nanny Agencies, you are paying for the legwork involved in hiring someone, ongoing advertisement, employees, nanny training, and other costs involved in running an agency. An agency can help alleviate a lot of your precious time.
If you decide to go on your own, then you need to weigh out the cost of your time that you will spend interviewing, reviewing applications (if possible), placing expensive ads (usually costs $300 + to advertise 1-time in local newspaper), answering phone calls from your ad and the list goes on. Sometimes a family may hire a family friend and therefore it would be cheaper and possibly benefit the family.
