Introduction to infant care with nanny

Being the mother of a newborn, you have a lot to think about daily. When it comes to hiring a nanny, One of the most common questions is “How do I introduce and train my nanny?”  One of the most important steps in this process is identifying your family’s needs, not only the practical needs but also needs specific to your family.

Think about what your family’s schedule is like; what do you do daily?.

Think about all of the activities you do as a family, what your values are, what is unacceptable and what is acceptable. What are the responsibilities of the job? It’s important that you write all of this information down as this will help to train your new nanny.  When you have started looking out for the services of a  nanny in Gurgaon you must hire someone who requires very little training. As much as possible, “overlap” days with your nanny.

Make her aware of your household and how you do things for your family. Also, show her how you prefer your newborn to be fed as well as how to prepare bottles. Nanny for your infant needs to learn all about your family and your way of doing things.  Develop a “House Book” in which all of the important information is stored, for emergency cases. Finally, make sure that your nanny knows how to tackle emergency situations. Is she trained in infant First Aid/CPR? If not, get her trained immediately. Make sure that she knows where the paediatrician’s office and the nearest hospital is. Develop a healthy way of communicating with each other that works. For example, check in with each other at the beginning and end of the shift. When your nanny doesn’t do something the way you expect it should be done, make sure you calmly approach her. You want to make sure you build a relationship where your nanny is not afraid of your reaction.

Nanny Childcare Duties and Tasks  Every family has its unique requirements, which means all nannies have a slightly different focus. There are many variables, such as favourite activities, ages of the children, dietary restrictions and any special needs. Be it any situation, quality child care is always a top priority for a nanny.   Aside from childcare, nannies may also be responsible for other child-related tasks, such as helping with homework, doing laundry, and organizing activity schedules.
