Getting A Temporary Nanny Up To Speed Quickly
Under normal circumstances you'd take a great deal of care in hiring a temporary nanny to watch over your kids. Sometimes, however, there's no time to think. A good quality, professional nanny temp agency will help alleviate some of your concerns by doing a pre-screening of the nannies they hire. This is especially true if the agency is specifically geared to place temporary nannies. While it's always best to be able to give some notice, the nanny temp agency will understand if an emergency comes up and you need immediate, same-day child care.
In a rushed situation, you may have very little time to get your temporary nanny up to speed on everything she should know. For that reason, it's a good idea to have something created in case you ever need it. Don't wait until you're stressed and late for work to try and hash out a plan with a temporary nanny. Create a one-page information sheet and keep it somewhere handy. That way, if you ever need to hire a temporary nanny, you can refer to the sheet, quickly going over important points and leaving the rest for her to read over. Leave a list of emergency contact numbers, any dietary restrictions your child may have, allergies, medications, if you have pets in the home, a minimum of duties you expect to be carried out, and any additional special instructions.
