This is a simple notion, but one that some parents miss. When hiring your nanny, be honest. It's incredibly important to be forthcoming when describing the role of the nanny position, the duty requirements, the hours and living arrangements. This will be a way to ensure you hire the right nanny. It’s not that parents intentionally distort the truth about the job requirements, but sometimes parents do end up painting a rosier picture of the nanny position in order to make it more attractive to a potential hire. When you’re hiring your nanny, be honest and you won’t have the problem of nannies who end up leaving the job because the person you’ve hired isn’t a good fit.
