As a Los Angeles Nanny Agency, we review thousands of nanny resumes each year. We are extremely selective in qualifying our candidates, and once they have been qualified we spend a good deal of time discussing the Do’s and Don’ts of being a nanny in Los Angeles. Following are a few of the more important ones that should be observed:
- Do arrive 5 to 10 minutes early
- Do ask for a tour of the home
- Do ask for emergency contact list
- Do ask what the house rules are
- Do ask about any special needs, including allergies
- Do leave the home just a little nicer than it was when you arrived
- Do not feed the children junk food
- Do not be on your cell phone unless it is necessary
- Do not let visitors enter the home
- Do not fall asleep
- Do not occupy the children with TV and electronics
Finally, and most importantly, DO USE COMMON SENSE!
