Thank you for this❤️it is really informative and helpful! I am a long time nanny but everytime i am going for an interview i always look for some help with the not awkward questions for employers😁 here is one!😁 2020 was the hardest year in finding a full time nanny job because of the pandemic, mostly family look for just part time .
Excellent video! I wish I had watched this before my first few interviews (1st time Nanny). It's so important that families realize we are not just "Babysitters" (WHO ARE AWESOME TOO!) but take this role seriously as professional childcare providers. Thank you so much
I'm much happier with this job than my last job (the mom was so mean at my last job), but I remember current mom boss said, "we've never paid a sitter more than $15/hour" at one point. It rubbed me the wrong way for a few reasons. I'm not a sitter I'm a nanny, same with the last "sitter." Also, she had another kid since she hired the last lady who was btw obese to a point where it interfered with her ability to do the job. She is an acquaintance of mine and told me the job was a lot of work. This job is so much easier than my last job watching homeschooled boys 6 and 9. Man, they dragged me around the 84 acre lake a few times. We went everywhere!!
I’ve been a professional nanny since 2010. I took the last 2 years off to provide full time care for my mother who suffered two strokes & became completely reliant on others. I’ve finally secured help with her & decided to get back into what I love which is childcare. I had an interview with a family this morning, & it went beautifully! I was offered the position & accepted! I watched this video last night just for a refresher & found it quite helpful, you mentioned a few things I had completely forgotten to add into my list of questions. Thank you for taking the time to make this video, you hit a lot of great points & shared quality knowledge/advice.
Very good information. I was just hired last week and will start in 2 weeks. So many things to cover, but all so important! Thank you for this great information.
My interview was Saturday and I just accepted the position! I wish this video would’ve been up before my interview. It’s okay though because I’m still going to ask some of these questions before starting! Thank you 😊
Congratulations on accepting your position! Definitely still ask some of these questions to your new nanny family. I will be posting a video on Tuesday talking about what to include in a nanny contract. Stay tuned for that. Thanks for watching
I am on my second really nanny job. I had some other situations where people had been told I would nanny for them and they walked all over me. I asked a lot of these questions when I met with current mom boss. I live in NYC so there's no driving but I wanted to be able to go to the store and the park and I am even allowed to go to the laundromat and do my laundry on the clock. The only real issue is that we're all Jewish and mom boss keeps a stricter kosher than I do so there are things I can't eat in front of her kids or buy in front of them because she doesn't want her kids asking for them because they aren't within their kosher limits but they are within mine. I was scared to ask for a contract, but I followed up from the interview by Emailing everything to her and asking her to make sure I had it all right.
I'm searching for a new NF and its been a while since I've had an interview so I turned to youtube and I'm so happy I found this - its exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for this! New subbie here, I hope you continue to make videos! Off to binge watch all your videos, haha!
Wow thanks so much muddie for this you open my mind know i hope next interview if they ask me do you have a question i will ask them as well. Your amazing dear!
Hie muddie i went to interview everything goes well i use all your questions to the parents and it work last week they call me for trials and nextwek again if they sees everything its fine we all happy then we will sign up the contract am so happy with your videos
@@maddiex012 hie dear txs for your advice it really help me we sign the contract its along term work and am happy they also happy with me ..thanks again
Hi I am interested in being a Nanny these questions help me alot I just what to know how to play with the kids with out going on the floor and what to play with boad games and what else to do with them and I want to get my own house I want to be able to take the kids on trips so the parents have to get another carseat I don't like staying at home
Hi! If you nanny for little ones you will need to get one the floor. And be open and honest with the parents about wanting to take the kids on trips. I've met families who aren't comfortable with it and I have not taken a job from those families because I could not stay home all the time.
I always ask if there are any guns in the home because one nanny job I had was for a crazy woman who kept a loaded gun under her bed and had two toddlers. They did not touch the gun but I was shocked to discover her stupidity.
I know it may be kind of taboo but how much do you charge?? I am just starting off (in MA as well) and I was thinking of charging $20-25 because I’m pretty qualified with child care and education from two other jobs, but would it be too much to set my rate at $25 to start?
Purely Maddie Definitely. I’ve been taking dozens of emails lately and it’s hard since many parents are looking for part time now while their kids are in hybrid learning situations, but I’m not going to settle for a less-than-ideal situation when I know I can find something right for me that pays well too!
A babysitter is someone who just comes and hangs out with the kids. Could be on a regular basis or not. A nanny is someone who is more dedicated and committed to the family/job. Typically they have more responsibilities than just playing with the kids. For example they could be in charge of laundry, meal prepping for the kids or family, take the kids on outings. It's common to have a contract and benefits with a nanny but not as a babysitter. Hope that answers your question!

yes!! There's a huge difference between a sitter and a nanny. Glad the video helped even if it was after the fact.
Me too i attend the interview and the family ask me do you have a question i end up saying no and now i know if the calls me for another interviews

I'm about to start interviewing potential nannies and this was helpful to know what all to cover with them!
I'm so glad you found it helpful :) Good luck with your interviews! Go with your gut...always.
Purely thank you so much for this video ...

Purely Maddie awesome! I was a nanny previously but didn’t have a contract which was a huge mistake. We should collab someday!

All great questions- some may not apply to a 3/4month old but I get the point. Thanks!
It's a god reference...and it's always good to ask questions that don't apply in the present moment but in the future :)
This video is so helpful!! Thank you so much!

Thank you. This video was really helpful for me. 🥰🌺
What is the app you use to track your miles and gas??
I know it may be kind of taboo but how much do you charge?? I am just starting off (in MA as well) and I was thinking of charging $20-25 because I’m pretty qualified with child care and education from two other jobs, but would it be too much to set my rate at $25 to start?
Yes, I charge $22-$25. It does depend on where your job is so you have to keep that in mind.
Purely Maddie
Definitely. I’ve been taking dozens of emails lately and it’s hard since many parents are looking for part time now while their kids are in hybrid learning situations, but I’m not going to settle for a less-than-ideal situation when I know I can find something right for me that pays well too!
Can u do guaranteed hours in cash for just starting out??
Of course! But I always recommend having a contract stating everything that was agreed upon.
Very helpful thank you!
hi maam im a nanny here in saudi arabia m9re than 5yrs ..im looking for new employer thank u
you're welcome! Good luck on your job search :)
How do you get direct deposit? I’m interviewing for my first nanny job Monday and unsure how pay works with direct deposit.
there are services your employers can pay you through. I use HomePay
what’s the difference between baby sitter and nanny? I assume nanny is more long term?
A babysitter is someone who just comes and hangs out with the kids. Could be on a regular basis or not. A nanny is someone who is more dedicated and committed to the family/job. Typically they have more responsibilities than just playing with the kids. For example they could be in charge of laundry, meal prepping for the kids or family, take the kids on outings. It's common to have a contract and benefits with a nanny but not as a babysitter. Hope that answers your question!
Hi I'm interested and I'm ready to work as a nanny .
What’s the name of the app for car reimbursement?

You are too complicated
Should i pick a young nany or older
How many babys are the nanny working for
