Nanny 101

Having a nanny can be both a good and a bad thing. Good, because finally, you’ll have someone to take good care of your little ones while you’re out working and bad, because a motherly or fatherly love is still different from a “nanny love.” But then again, we should be thankful because without our nannies, it would be difficult to make good providers of ourselves. So before you finally leave your kids behind, here are a few things to remind your nanny about.

1. First and foremost, use gentle natural cleaning products as often as possible to clean up stains, disinfectants and the like. Commercial cleaners contain chemicals which can be harmful to people, most especially to kids, and the environment. These chemicals can be acquired by the human system through inhalation or ingestion. To disinfect cleaning bottles, use only the organic cleaners as often as you can.
2. Limit phone calls. This may seem a little bit difficult to impose at first but then sometimes, to ensure that their 100% attention gets to your kids alone, you are left with no other choice but take the phone into the master’s bedroom.
3. Make sure that their playroom is clean and rust-free all the time. Take a few minutes to disinfect their playroom and even toys. Keep cribs and toys such as bikes or skating gears rust-free using organic rust removers.
4. Play with them. As a nanny, you need to get the kids to like and adore you. To do that, you need to play and talk to them. Treat them like you own. Being a nanny gives you a wonderful and fulfilling experience like you were parenting your own kids.
5. Keep all your cleaners at your reach. Kids can play around all the time and they can bump into a lot of things in over minutes. This only means, you can expect a lot of spills and the like. Keep your green cleaning products ready to the rescue.

Now, you’re sure to leave your kids in good hands even in your absence.
