Tips for hiring a nanny at home

Between flexible hours and baby's comfort, the in-home nanny has many advantages, but what are the tips for choosing the right one?

  • A live-in nanny allows your baby to keep his habits, to stay in his own environment and to save time, because you don't have to pick up your baby after work.
  • But it is important to choose the right person who will exclusively take care of baby at your home.
  • Prepare the interviews in advance with a list of questions: does she make the meals, does she smoke, how does she handle crying spells...
  • Also ask her how she plans to organize her days, between walks, stimulation, meals and naps.
  • Meet the candidates with baby, this will allow you to see the first contact.
  • You can also negotiate in the contract the possibility of doing some housework, of course related to baby's well-being.

I feel exhausted, scared, lonely, and just not in a good mental state. I don’t work a normal job anymore I’m a stay at home nanny for 3 children(way harder than it sounds). We live in the woods so I don’t walk outside (it’s a lot of loose dogs). I no longer enjoy watching tv or writing (things that calm me). Everyday there is a new pain. I feel like my body isn’t mine’s anymore. I haven’t been sleeping at night but exhausted during the day. Feeling like I don’t know what to do with myself. The only small joy I get is when my baby moves.My baby father and I are trying are hardest to be in each other’s life but sometimes we don’t feel connected. Mental Health problems run in my family so I want to take control of this before i feel insane. Every time I open up to someone they say that’s pregnancy ??‍♀️ is it ? When am I going to feel better? Is Ppd going to make me feel worse? Who else feels this way??

Right there with you ! lol I live out in country area with my boyfriend and he always out working so. I have my 2 jobs to keep me busy and helping keep all the animals here in good shape,lol. But I don’t sleep anymore at all I can only get in like 10-15 min naps. And anytime I see my boyfriend he never want to hear me talk or doesn’t want to spend time anymore because he’s tired. So I just feel like in between sometimes.

I'm so sorry you are going through this. My suggestion would be to find a professional ro speak with. It could be just pregnancy but it could something more and if you want to get ahead of it speaking with a therapist can really help. Mental health problems run in my family also and I am so grateful that I have yet to be affected and pray that I am never affected so I know they signs. Don't worry what others say. If you feel in your hurt this is more then please speak with someone. Sending you lots of hugs, live and prayers ❤️
