How do I screen a nanny/aupair?
www.nannies4hire.com is an online site and does no pre-screening on the families or nannies. Several steps should be taken in screening a nanny. You will want to ask a lot of questions to make sure you find the right match. Sample interview questions and a sample reference check form are available once you are a registered member. You will want to perform reference checks on the nanny, contacting past employment and childcare references. For younger candidates, we also suggest speaking with the nannys parents prior to employment. Your instincts are the best tool for choosing a nanny. Some nannies may be located in another Country with a valid visa to come to the United States. You may want to verify their visa is valid before making any travel arrangements or agree to hire them. You can do so by going to the U.S. Embassys homepage, http://usembassy.state.gov/ Use your own discretion, but we recommend not sending money to nannies coming from another Country needing help with their Visa.
