Although traditionally a nanny is thought of as a child care professional, these days you see nannies doing everything from assisted care to light housekeeping. A nanny's term of service can be from 3 months to many years so the selection process is not to be rushed. If you are considering hiring a nanny to care for your child, there are a number of important points to consider and tough questions to ask. Here are some pointers on smart nanny selection.

• Decide if you are looking for a live-in or live-out nanny. Each has benefits such as constant access and no late arrival due to traffic (in the case of live-in) or no invasion of your privacy (in the case of a live-out).
• If you are trying to hire a nanny outside an agency, be certain the person is able to work legally in Canada to avoid messy tax implications and potential Immigration problems.
• Always make certain the person you are considering has passed a background check and has no criminal record.
• When hiring from overseas:  Finder’s fees for live-in vary; some agencies charge nothing, while others charge up to $3,000. But beware: If you’re not paying a fee, chances are the nanny is picking up the bill - the client is the caregiver and NOT you! The caregiver has paid the agency to do everything possible to get them into Canada  Ask a firm why they’re not charging you a fee and decide whether you are comfortable with the answer. -- Who's truly benefiting?
