You don't want to leave your child to just anyone, and that's normal. It's a question of confidence and feeling above all!
So follow the guide to find the perfect nanny for your toddler.
We often think, wrongly, that a nanny is a childminder.
A nanny is not a nanny, a nanny is a "parental assistant". The nanny works with the parents to look after the child, unlike the childminder who looks after the children at her own home.
The childminder is compulsorily accredited, and can look after up to 4 children. By entrusting your toddler to him, you can begin to get him used to living in a community and gently prepare him for entering kindergarten.
The nanny is not accredited, but generally benefits from training (bac pro ASSP Accompaniment, Care and Services to the Person or bac pro SAPAT Services to People and Territories).
Think first of your surroundings. Ask around (friends, neighbours, colleagues, hairdresser, bakery…) if we have nannies to recommend to you.
You can also post announcements or consult them, this is the most common method.
LeBonCoin is obviously a must, and you may find the nanny you need there. But in any case, try to anticipate sufficiently because there are specific periods when nannies are more sought after (back to school, school holidays).
Finally, be aware that there are specialized sites, you can find a nanny on this site:YOOPALA and manage all the administrative part easily.
That's it, you've found some nanny contacts on ad sites or elsewhere, and it's time to meet.
She will have to earn your trust in a short time, and above all be accepted by your child(ren). How does she behave? Is she self-sufficient? What experience does she have with other children and/or little brothers/sisters to babysit?
You must be present for the first meeting, and if everything goes well you can try it another time by leaving her for a few hours or half a day or an evening to see if everything goes well.
When it is very occasional, babysitters are generally not subject to a contract. But when you choose a nanny for a long term (a school year for example), the question no longer arises, you have to make a contract.
The contract is reassuring for you and also for the babysitter with a regular and paid declared job.
You can find free contract templates on the internet, or again go through an intermediary who will make your job much easier and provide you with more security.
