    How to stay safe during the interview and at work?

    Prepare

    Every job is different, because each family has different needs and expectations.Before the interview with a parent, think about the tasks and duties that you would agree to perform. In the interview, you need to be aware and agree with what the client wants. It is your responsibility to feel safe and comfortable in your new environment. The safety of our nannies is of great importance to us and we wish that you feel good at all times. a family may want too much, you can always find another job that is better.

    Use intuition

    Before meeting a family, make an arrangement with them on the phone.Remember that the interview process is two-way, both for the family who wants to make sure they hire the right person, so it helps you determine whether a family is right for you.

    If after the interview you do not think that you can work for this family, it is better to refuse the job.But if the first conversation goes well, you can arrange a deeper interview in a cafe, park or other public place with other people around, it is best for the children to attend, because you will spend a certain amount of time together and it is raining to like each other.

    Remember that “if everything seems too good, it may not be true...”

    If a family publishes a job ad with extravagant payment promises or hours, be cautious. It may be that once you are hired you will have obligations other than the agreed ones.

    If under no circumstances do you feel threatened or insecure, then you should leave immediately, as long as you do not leave the children without a family person or your deputy from the agency. Of course, you should contact us immediately.

    Be sure of the work

    Before starting a new job, tell your friends and family all about it. Let a friend or relative know exactly where you are and what you are doing, when you are expected to return. Make sure your friend or relative has a copy of your contact details, address, customer name and phone number, if any.Stick to the list of boundaries you did before the interview.If your parent asks you to do something that makes you uncomfortable, politely remind them of the discussion you had during the interview.- Sorry Sarah, I can't prepare PB and D for Dana because of my nut allergy.
