Summer Nannies For Children With Special Needs

If you're looking for a summer nanny to work with a child who has challenges and/or disabilities, the first thing you should do is log on to one of the many online nanny placement agencies. You'll have a chance to refine your nanny search, so make sure to indicate right up front that you're looking for someone with specific training and education and why. The best situation would be to hire someone with previous experience working with a child similar to your own. For example, you may need a summer nanny who can efficiently maneuver a wheelchair, transport the child in and out of vehicles, and manage any feeding, bathing, or washroom requirements that the child cannot do for himself or herself.

Chances are, your situation is completely different than what's mentioned here, but the main point is that you'll need to find a summer nanny that you feel completely comfortable with. Make sure to tailor the interview questions to match the real-life situations she'll have to contend with in your home. Be prepared to pay more for this kind of highly skilled summer nanny. She may be someone with a degree in nursing, and you'll be required to pay much more than you'd pay a college student working as a part time summer nanny.

Adequate and appropriate summer child care for children with special needs is priceless. The trick is finding the right person, so utilize the services of a reputable nanny placement agency, like nannies4hire.com.
