👶 5 Signs You’ve Found the Right Nanny for Your Family

1. 🧡 Your Child Lights Up Around Them

Children are great judges of character. If your little one smiles, laughs, and feels at ease when the nanny arrives, that’s a huge green flag. A genuine connection can’t be forced—it shows in the little moments.

Tip: Observe how your child acts after the nanny leaves. Happy and settled? You're on the right track.

2. 🤝 Your Values Align

Whether you follow gentle parenting, structured routines, or Montessori methods—your nanny should understand and support your approach. The right nanny becomes an extension of your parenting style, not a contradiction of it.

At Nest & Kin, we match families with nannies who fit your ethos—not just your schedule.

3. 📱 Communication Is Easy and Open

Do you feel comfortable sharing thoughts, feedback, and daily updates? A great nanny will:

  • Keep you informed

  • Listen without judgment

  • Be honest and proactive

That easy, respectful communication builds long-term trust.

4. 🌟 They Go the Extra Mile

It’s more than just keeping kids safe—your ideal nanny:

  • Plans age-appropriate activities 🎨

  • Encourages development 📚

  • Notices and nurtures emotional needs đź’•

Bonus: Some of our nannies also bring experience in early years education, bilingual care, or sleep training.

5. 🏡 They Feel Like Part of the Family

This is the one you can’t fake. When the right nanny joins your home, things feel lighter.
You feel supported.
Your child feels secure.
Your home has balance.

The right nanny brings calm, confidence, and care—and becomes part of your village.
