When working with a nanny, a helpful method to adopt is a trial period where you can invite your nanny over to see how she interacts with the child. This gives you a good idea of how well the nanny reacts and it will also help your baby adjust to the change, an useful method for those mothers about to return to work.
When at work, mothers can also pay spontaneous visits home, this enables you to get an idea how well nanny and baby are getting along and to correct any problems they might notice. When correcting problems, be sure to use the 'sandwich feedback' method, praise the nanny on the good work, mention the criticism and what can be done to correct it, but end with another compliment. Nannies in Sydney are hard-working and receptive to positive feedback, therefore good communication is a surefire way to get the best out of your nanny.
A final option is to install a 'nanny cam' essentially a camera in your home without informing the nanny. This is one of the easiest methods to check for wrong-doing but it is also an expensive option to use.
There are steps you can take when hiring a nanny as well, reference agencies get a lot of work done but the final decision lies with you, and you alone. It is the mother's responsibility who will look after their child. Before hiring someone, you want to know as much as possible about the nanny, an important source of information are references. By contacting references, you will hear from other mothers how the nanny in question acted, giving you a good idea about the nanny you are thinking about hiring. You will also find out if your nanny has had direct experience raising children who are in the same age bracket as your own. Direct experience is important especially if you are looking after a new-born infant.
