Nanny Skills and Personality

Finding the Right Nanny

It is very important to think about the key skills you want your nanny or au pair to have, for example, a safe driver, a good cook, first aid skills.

However, it is equally important to think about the personality of your nanny or au pair. You want someone you will get along with and who will fit in well with your family and its values. All too often this is neglected, leading to differences of opinion, personality clashes, or constantly feeling awkward around someone who is in your home every day.

Thinking upfront about the personality and attributes of a nanny or au pair will make your search and decision-making much, much easier. You will find it easier to write your ad or agency brief, to shortlist CVs, shape your interview questions and make your final decision.
