“Nannying. One of the hardest things I’ve ever decided to do. Unless you’re in this line of work… you have no idea what it means to actually be a nanny. We enter these families knowing full well that we will fall in love with these children… the children who’s life and upbringing have been put in our hands. We will laugh together and cry together. I’ve pick you up when you’ve fall down and unbeknownst to you… hearing “I missed you!” the moment I walk into you’re room every morning, has also picked me up when I’ve been down.

For the past 3 years I’ve kissed your boo boo’s, I’ve sat in a pitch black rooms rocking you to sleep for hours at a time, I’ve cuddled you while you’ve had a fever of 103, I’ve slept with you and counted the breaths you take, I walked you into the room where you met your baby sister for the very first time, I’ve dressed you for your first day of school… BUT were there bad days? YES… there were bad days. Days where all you wanted to do was cry and scream. Days where I’ve been too sick to function. Days where my patience was thinner than dental floss….but somehow we got through it together buddy.

As we all know… being a nanny for a family is a temporary thing. Families need change. Families move. Kids grow up.
My nanny kids birthdays are always bittersweet for me because it means I’m one year closer to not being needed. Every time I drop you off at preschool I tell you to not cry because I always come back. I will always come back… until I don’t. Because one day I won’t. Because one day, you will grow up and my services won’t be needed.. I will say bye and I won’t be coming back.
Of course I hope that’s not for a few years and we can have many more good days and bad days…many more adventures and many more memories.

So for now… Happy Birthday baby boy. You have been one of the best things to have walked into my life 3 years ago. I love you to the moon and back”

FILLED – Brentwood Estate Manager Read More »

Location: Beverly Hills, CA, USA.

Looking to move from Nanny – Family Assistant to House Manager?

Live-In Nanny Needed for a family of 3. They need a nanny / tutor / educator for their 7 year old son. It is a live in position, 4 days on 3 days off (the 3 days off are live-out, so you’ll need somewhere to go on these days you aren’t working), starting 9am Wednesday and ending 9am Sunday. Everything is provided for the position, full benefits, a car (a driver). They are living in Beverly Hills, near the Beverly Hills Hotel.

They would like someone with English as a 1st language (additional languages are a bonus, ESPECIALLY MANDARIN). You would also need to be able to travel internationally (12 days in June/July and 31 days in Dec (you will work over the Holidays)).

Pay is currently open, they are really looking for a fantastic person, someone that will instill a sense of independence in the boy, shoe laces, homework before fun, clean up after himself, manners, confidence (he already has plenty of that); putting him on the path to becoming an intelligent, well-mannered little man. They would like someone that has had experience with a schedule like this, worked in a staffed house, somebody educated, youthful (basketball and soccer skills are a big advantage), and above all, reliable and genuine, brimming with positivity.

Everything pertaining to the boy would be your responsibility at 1st, whilst slowly transitioning a number of those responsibilities over to him, you would still be responsible for scheduling, child’s laundry, food prep, anything to do with his school, playdates and other family assistant duties (you would have the whole day while he is at school to get things done).

As the boy gets older and more self-sufficient the plan is for the nanny to gravitate away from the live-in situation, and take on a full-time House Manager position, with a Monday – Friday 8a-6p schedule and of course a pay rise.

This is the ideal position for someone who is looking to make an impact in a child’s life while also looking ahead to becoming a Domestic Professional with a Ultra High Net Worth, High Profile Family.

Family are looking to interview now, if you’re interested and meet all the criteria, please do not hesitate to reach out with a resume, references and any certifications and letters of recommendation – info@angelesmannies.com or register here

Reference Checking 1,2,1,2 …Is This Thing on?

Picture yourself: a first-time mother or father, looking for that special someone to welcome into their family and trust with her child. Or maybe you’re a more experienced parent but have had some bad luck with nannies or babysitters in the past. Whatever a situation may be, we can all agree that a child is one’s most prized possession. No wonder why people want to trust someone fully before giving him or her the sacred responsibility of helping to raise their child. If you can’t trust someone, then how could you go about your workday without worrying yourself into a frenzy?

So where does one find this trust? Of-course it doesn’t come easily. Especially if it has been broken in the past and, unfortunately, there are people in this world that shouldn’t be trusted to care for children. This, my friends, is why childcare has (or should have) one of the most in-depth and extensive screening processes. Personally, I know people that have a great education and intelligence, but I wouldn’t necessarily trust them with my child. Someone can look great on paper but it takes some very specific qualities to be a competent and trustworthy caregiver.

One of the most critical steps in the screening process for nannies/mannies is reliable professional references. More specifically, professional childcare references. The fact that you may have been employed at the local department store does nothing for a concerned parent looking for qualified care. People need to hear from other people, first handedly, about the quality of care that you have provided to that person. Consider this, wouldn’t you rather trust a personal recommendation from someone rather than an advertisement? It’s a second opinion, a testimonial, a personal recommendation. Whatever you want to call it; it makes all the difference when making an investment in a child’s future.

This leads me to the main theme of this blog; the importance of having reachable references. After all, what is the point of having all of this great experience under your belt if your potential employer can’t even get ahold of your references? In the past, I have been in charge of Childcare reference checking myself and sometimes it can just be unbelievably hard to get ahold of these people. It is not always their fault, however. Communication is key. Communication between candidates and their previous employers as well as communication between candidates and their prospective employers. Meaning, you need to ensure that you tell your previous employers what time to expect a call. Equally important, don’t forget to tell a potential employer which time they need to make that call. The rest is up to those in charge of checking references!

Yes, being a manny/nanny is undoubtedly a demanding, entertaining and rewarding profession that allows for great fun and creativity. Don’t forget to look at the screening process as a very important step in trust and communication; view it from a parent’s perspective and be on top of your reference game!

Angeles Mannies carefully screens all caregivers so you don’t have to, get in touch today!
