Step 1
Advertise to recruit nannies. Place an ad in the local newspaper, or post a flyer on a college bulletin board to begin recruiting candidates for your nanny business.
-
Step 2
Screen potential nannies by conducting a preliminary phone interview. Develop a questionnaire to help you determine whether or not to schedule a face-to-face interview with potential candidates. Ask for references, the candidate's full name and a contact phone number.
-
Step 3
Interview candidates in person. Make sure that you have checked references before the face-to-face interview. Ask basic interview questions. This interview will give you a much better idea about the person and her qualifications to be hired for your nanny business.
-
Step 4
Perform a background check. Make sure to thoroughly investigate each candidate's background for your nanny business. You can go to the NannyNetwork website to perform investigations reliably and economically for under $50 before hiring any nannies for your clients.
-
Step 5
Draft a work agreement. Make sure that the agreement specifies standard work hours, scope of the work, vacations, holidays and any overtime compensation for each nanny placed with a family.
