Lillie S.

Lillie started with us when my daughter was 12 weeks old. She has a calm demeanor and my daughter responded well to that. She was very good about following my instructions and sticking to a nap schedule. Lillie is a great babysitter and would highly recommend. - Malorie

Miguel was great with my kids! He was always flexible and great with communication. My boys enjoyed his company and always asked for him whenever I planned to schedule care for them. A great plus.. everything was kept tighty.. - Karen Ruiz

Miguel P.

i use to work a lot of full time hours and needed someone that I can trust to watch my kids. I have a 12 year old daughter now and a 8 year old son. They absolutely love Miguel! Hahaha. He’s very punctual and respectful. Always made sure the house was as clean! Definitely one of my favorites! - Dayana Martinez

Understand Nanny Responsibilities in Boston, MA

Before beginning the search for a nanny, it’s important to understand what you’re looking for and if a nanny is the right choice for your child care needs. In hiring a nanny, first, you should think through what responsibilities you expect your nanny to handle. With that information, you can create a profile so that nannies can reach out to you. The boundaries for nannies duties vary from family to family. In general, a nanny is responsible for making sure your children’s needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example, housekeeping or meal preparation, it’s good practice to communicate these expectations with your nanny before hiring them. Along with the different duties that you ask for, experience and location can impact how much you should pay your nanny.

Boston Nanny Interviews

Once you start connecting with prospective nannies, the next step is a nanny interview. To make things a bit easier, here’s a list of some nanny interview questions to consider asking:

Do you have experience being a nanny?
How do you handle tantrums? Can you share an experience disciplining children?
What sort of household tasks are you open to doing?
Are you open to a live in arrangement in Boston? Do you have experience being a live in nanny?
Are you open to being a nanny in a nanny share?
Do you have any references?
Are you trained in First Aid or CPR in Boston?
Do you have a driver’s license in MA? Do you own a car?
What salary are you seeking? Are you open to being paid through direct-deposit, pay stubs?
What are your expectations around over-time pay and vacation time?

During the hiring process, it’s essential to ask for references, and by asking their references questions you gain a better understanding of they will fit in your family. As you get closer to hiring a nanny, be sure to run a background check to ensure your kids are in good hands. When evaluating a prospective nanny, it’s essential to make sure you’re setting the foundation for a good relationship with your nanny. You can do this by being clear about your expectations around nanny responsibilities and compensation, and of course, by being friendly and welcoming!
