The search for a qualified and professional live-in nanny is often a complex step for parents concerned about the well-being and development of their children. Faced with this important choice, it is essential to carefully evaluate the criteria that will guarantee an informed selection and peace of mind for parents.

What are the essential qualities of a live-in nanny?

Quality n°1: reliability and sense of responsibility

Reliability is one of the most important qualities a live-in nanny should possess. Parents must be able to count on her to follow established and precise schedules, ensure the safety of children and take care of agreed tasks. A strong sense of responsibility is therefore essential.

Quality #2: patience and ability to adapt

Working with children requires unfailing patience. A live-in nanny must be able to demonstrate understanding and calm, even in difficult situations. In fact, the child may become angry or hurt. The nanny must know how to react calmly and manage the problem. The ability to adapt is essential, as each day can bring its share of surprises and unforeseen changes.

Quality #3: Communication skills and empathy

Empathy is a key quality that fosters emotional connection and a deep understanding of others. Good communication with children and parents is essential to create a healthy relationship that will last over time. A live-in nanny must be able to understand and meet the emotional and physical needs of children, thereby establishing a bond of trust.

What are the essential skills of a qualified live-in nanny?

Skill No. 1: solid knowledge of Early Childhood

A professional live-in nanny must have the knowledge of Early Childhood and hygiene necessary to look after young children in complete safety. These skills allow the nanny to stimulate children’s cognitive development, awareness and hygiene in an appropriate manner.

Child safety is a top priority. A live-in nanny must have good safety reflexes and be able to react quickly in the event of an emergency. This skill assures parents that their children are in good hands, even if problems and unforeseen circumstances arise.

Skill #3: organization and planning

Good organization is essential to manage the schedules, activities and daily responsibilities that exist when caring for a child. A professional live-in nanny must be able to plan fun activities, coordinate meals and rest times, while maintaining a stable routine for the children: dropping them off and picking them up from school or daycare, bringing them extracurricular activities, prepare them in the morning and evening.
