• help! I need to hire someone to take care of my child (preschool + special needs) Alex Last updated by Martinajackbrennan04@hotmail.com: 15-May-2017 View last comments

  I’m looking for a nanny that has experience as a special needs classroom assistant. My kid is in preschool and I need someone to be with him every afternoon until I get home. DO you know where can I find someone with experience and what should I keep in mind when hiring someone?

    Hello! To be honest I don’t know if you need someone with experience but for example, for my kid I asked a friend of my nephew who is studying to be a teacher. I guess sometimes you just need someone to rely on and someone who you can really trust. Something I believe is important the person should be is: a good communicator with the kid and with you. And also be capable of taking care of one than more child at a time, at this early age is important for them to socialize with other kids. Let me know if you have any other questions.

      Hi Anne, so I wrote this on February and things have changed now .. I’m moving to Australia because of my husband’s work… so right now my life it’s a little messy … could you give some tips or advice about what do I need to look when hiring my next nanny? I knew that posting here was a good idea since there are a bunch of professionals helping people. So I’d really appreciate it if you could give me some tips or some kind of advice to apply once I’m in Australia.
