Characteristics of a Good Nanny

Hiring a nanny is an important decision and one that should be given a lot of thought.  When hiring a nanny you are finding someone whose primary responsibility is the care and nurturing of your young children.  This is a person from whom your children will grow to love and respect.  You and your children should feel comfortable with and accept this person as part of your home environment.

* provides safety and security by establishing a routine and consistency

* knows about nutrition and first aid
