Top 5 Attributes of a Super Nanny
If you’re a first time nanny employer, you may not know what qualities to look for when interviewing that could make a potential candidate a super nanny! We’re sharing with you the top 5 attributes we think you should look for when hiring your new nanny.
They’re Qualified
A super nanny will devote their time to improving your child’s learning, development, and experience. A super nanny is likely to have a certificate of higher education, such as a bachelor’s degree, master’s degree, or even a doctorate.
It is especially desirable if a nanny has a child-related qualification, such as a Norland nanny diploma!
They have unique and specialist skills
Some nannies have specialist skills that make them more desirable to families. This could be speaking a second language, being a sleep specialist, or offering specialist care.
They’re flexible
A super nanny is comfortable adjusting and adapting to changing needs and shifting schedules. Your nanny will develop routines with your child, but you want them to have the ability to adapt so that your child’s interests and needs are always being met.
They’re a networker
A super nanny will have a strong network within their community. You may want your nanny to be connected to local clubs, businesses, schools, or other nannies so that they can provide your child with plenty of opportunities for socialising!
Emotional Intelligence
A super nanny will have a calm, positive attitude and be understanding. You want your nanny to be enthusiastic and emotionally intelligent, so that they will have the enthusiasm and tenderness required to look after your child.
