Finding Childcare In Zurich

We were contacted by Tanya at Rockmybaby, offering professional childcare services in Zurich and Schaffhausen. We asked her for some helpful tips on interviewing and employing a nanny. 

Employing a nanny for the first time can be nerve-wracking for some.

Understanding the role of a nanny, preparing for an employee, conducting interviews and establishing an open, professional relationship are all things that any employer can do to help make employing a nanny a success. Interviewing your nanny:

• Inform the nanny about your
  
  family life and children,

• Describe the job description,

• Ask the nanny to tell you about herself, and what she is looking for in a new job,

• Go through the nanny's CV in detail, asking her to describe each nanny position and why she left,

• Run through a list of questions relating to the nanny's abilities as a childcare,

• Views on discipline, activities for the children etc,

• Ask the nanny if she has any specific questions,

• Encourage the nanny to ask questions.

• Call your best candidates backfor a second interview. Give them a chance to spend some time with your children, to go through the finer details and any outstanding questions they may have.

Finally, trust your intuition. Contact Tanya for any of your childcare related needs on 043 4440978 / 079 6609307 or email on zurich@rockmybaby.ch - www.rockmybaby.ch  This article is not intended as an endorsement or recommendation.
