10 qualities that every nanny should possess
You have an extremely important job taking care of our clients' children, so you are expected to be reliable, kind and enthusiastic and use your creativity at all times.
1.
Orderance is the main quality you should possess - so always try to
do your job well and conspicuously to have more badges and good comments
2. Loyalty
The role of the nanny
A nanny should work in partnership with the family, taking responsibility for the safety and development of children. You should be aware that even if you have more experience with babysitting than parents have, your role is only to help and advise, but not to intervene and change the rules established by parents. You also need to be delicate enough and not intrude your value system, but teach the child to the one who is accepted into the family, whether you approve it or
not.3.Endurance
is an advantage if you do not have health restrictions — if the child is still a baby, it should be worn frequently on hands and sometimes the stroller should be lifted. With young children need to take long walks, and often it is necessary to run after them. Besides, the often ailing nanny is not going to satisfy the families
. To love children
The nanny should be gentle, understanding, calm. The ideal helper should love children, but be careful not to spoil them with excessive attention. While watching children, you should not pick on them or punish them arbitrarily. If you're one of the people who are constantly resentful and vain, you're definitely not suitable for the job
5.
Responsibility The person responsible will not allow himself to be late regularly or not to come to work without warning you in advance.
EducationAn important quality for nannies entrusted with school-age children is to have basic knowledge of the curriculum, and knowledge of foreign languages is a bonus. Many parents are convinced that the ideal candidacy is on a former employee of school or kindergarten. But such former employees with a longer service experience also have their minuses: such people find it difficult to part with the habitual way of communicating with children, namely, the order tone and constant threats to the child, that if he does not listen, he will complain to his
parents.7. Tranquility
Another no less important quality is that the nanny is a calm, balanced personality. Excess gesticulation, fast talking and excessive emotionality are a true sign of nervousness and irritability, with this you will cause in the child anxiety and anxiety. While with a calm and unflappable lady, the child will feel comfortable and confident.
8. Medical knowledge (besides the mandatory first aid course)
Itwill be great if you have medical knowledge. Because children are very nimble, often fall and get hurt, they can choke and whatnot. In addition, you will be better able to keep track of the health of the child you care for is sick - starting from the common colds and going to some troubling behavior and physical habits.
9. Confidence
The nanny should be confident in what she does, as children easily capture the feeling of fear, panic, distraction in adults. Your job requires you to have a quick reaction and often make decisions in the blink.
10. Patience
Disobedience, spitting on food, hysterical outbursts on the part of the child should be met calmly by the nanny. Your task is to stock up with patience.
