My Nanny Was In A Car Accident! | How To Handle

Posted on February 8, 2023August 16, 2023 by Admin Team

Hi everyone!

Today I am going to discuss a subject that everyone hopes that they don’t have to deal with…

Car accidents!

I was recently reading an article where a nanny was involved in a car accident on her way to work. Upon letting her nanny parents know, the parents didn’t even think to ask if she was okay and later, took to social media to complain about their “dramatic” nanny.

What? Yikes!

That’s not the way a car accident should be handled.

Check out my latest video where I discuss what the nanny and family should do if the nanny is involved in a car accident. I hope you find it useful!

PRO TIP: Ensuring that your nanny has a signed medical release form for your children is important so that they can receive immediate medical care if needed.

The First Week: 10 Conversations You Need To Have – Working With A Nanny From A-Z Series – Ep.12

Posted on March 8, 2022March 8, 2022 by Admin Team

Hi everyone. Happy almost spring!

It’s Laura back with Episode #12 in our series, “Working With A Nanny From A-Z”. In today’s episode, I discuss ten conversations you should have with your newly hired nanny during the first week of working with your family!

Why have these conversations the first week? Because, if these topics aren’t covered early in the working relationship, they can get weird and awkward.

A good example is “saliva sharing”….are you okay with your nanny sharing a spoon or fork with your child? Or kissing your child? Most parents are not and it can feel a bit awkward to bring it up. That’s why you should discuss it before it gets weird!

New to our “Working With A Nanny From A-Z” videos? In this series, I am going to walk you through the entire process of working with a nanny. From deciding if nanny care is right for your family all the way through how to find, interview, hire and work with a nanny. Basically, everything you need to know from A-Z about the nanny world!

In today’s episode, “The First Week: 10 Conversations You Need To Have – Working With A Nanny From A-Z”, I discuss topics that you should cover with your nanny during their first week on the job such as:

Cell phone use. What’s okay and not okay?
