How to Find a Reliable Nanny in Kenya: What Every Employer Should Check
Finding the right nanny for your family is an important decision. A nanny is not only responsible for helping with household routines and childcare they become part of your home and, in many cases, play an important role in your children’s daily lives.
For many families, the challenge is not finding someone who is looking for work. The real challenge is finding someone reliable, trustworthy, experienced, friendly and suitable for your family.
-
Consider Your Family’s Specific Needs
Before starting your search, be clear about what you expect from your nanny.
Consider:
- The age of your children
- Whether you need a live-in or live-out nanny
- Working hours
- Childcare responsibilities
- Cooking or household duties
- School runs and errands
- Location
- Your preferred experience level
Having clear expectations makes it easier to find someone who is genuinely suitable for the position.
-
Look Beyond Experience
Experience is important, but it is not the only thing to consider.
A good nanny should also demonstrate:
- Patience
- Responsibility
- Good communication
- Respect
- Honesty
- Cleanliness
- A caring attitude
- Ability to follow instructions
Someone may have years of experience but still not be the right match for your household.
-
Ask for References
Where possible, employers should ask for references from previous employers.
References can help you understand the candidate’s previous work history, reliability and conduct while working in another household.
-
Discuss the Job Clearly
Before hiring, discuss the important details openly.
These may include:
- Salary
- Working hours
- Days off
- Duties and responsibilities
- Accommodation, where applicable
- Start date
- Any special childcare requirements
Clear communication from the beginning helps prevent misunderstandings later.
-
