Parents Strive for Their Kids to be HappyPerhaps the first question any nanny job seeker should ask a parent in a job interview is if they could wish for one thing for their children what would it be?
Once nannies know what the parents desire for their children, they can try to make those goals happen for the kids left in their care.
For example, if the parents hope for their children to be great students than their nanny knows that helping the children be organized for school and tutoring is extremely important to the employers. If the parents want their kids to be happy, the caregiver should try to be creative and fun, help the children develop joy in life, and use positive discipline rather than scolding or punishing the kids in their care.
In 2010, Be the Best Nanny Newsletter asked 1,956 parents who employ nannies and au pairs their greatest wish for their children.

If a child is not happy, then hiring a nanny is waste.
This survey proves the same.
