Hiring the best person you can for a nanny position requires three things: looking in the right areas for candidates, interviewing and screening candidates effectively, and providing a nanny position that a qualified candidate would be interested in. Here are three ways to make nanny positions more attractive to candidates. This can be really important when hiring nannies/caregivers  already in Canada.

p; Nanny positions are more attractive when there are benefits involved. Start off by including a fair compensation to a nanny, based on her skills and the market rate. Include allowances for overtime pay, sick days, and vacation days. If you can afford it, offer a health package to your nanny, as well.

2.      &nbs
p; Nanny positions are more attractive with bonuses and perks. Bonuses and perks can be any privileges that pertain to the job such as a set amount of time for cell phone use, car usage, and the opportunity to travel on vacation with your family with paid expenses. An annual bonus during the holidays is another option for an on-the-job perk.

3.      &nbs
p; Creating a positive work environment for a nanny includes giving your nanny the ability to get her job done effectively. This includes providing an open forum for communication, being honest and clear about the job expectations and requirements, and staying up-to-date on issues that come up with your child or children.
