What are they like - the best babysitters?
For parents who are looking for a nanny, it is important to know that the person has not only the appropriate qualifications, but also knows how to convey warmth and love to the child. Each nanny, feeling responsible for the well-being of the little ward, knows that the main thing is to create comfortable conditions that help him or her to develop.
A real nanny not only cares for the child, but also has a good understanding of the child’s needs and wishes. She is patient and gentle, respects the family rules and motivates discipline, calms the child at the right moment and makes him feel secure.
In addition, a professional nanny is friendly and cheerful, creates an atmosphere of joy and positivity, develops interests and helps in mastering the world around them. The nanny establishes a trusting relationship with parents, respects their wishes for the care and upbringing of the child.
A reliable and caring nanny will help organise life and living with your child in a more comfortable and joyful way.

We answer all your questions
We co-operate with clients from all over the world, offering various options for family nanny jobs according to needs and qualifications. We regularly update our job database with many interesting offers from employers.
We publish up-to-date vacancies on the website, closed community and social media.
Pedagogical education is not obligatory for working as a nanny, but it can be useful when working with children of different ages. It is important to have experience working with children, knowledge of nutrition, hygiene and child development, the ability to find a common language with them, to be attentive, responsible and caring. In addition, a nanny can obtain certifications and take additional courses in childcare to enhance their qualifications and improve their skills.
After submitting the required documents and completing the application form, it takes from 3 days to 2 weeks to find a suitable job, depending on the availability of suitable vacancies at the time of your application.
Prepare an interesting story about yourself, your experience of working with children, your achievements and hobbies. The brighter and livelier you present yourself, the more likely it is that parents will choose you out of all the applicants.
And we’ll help you choose the jobs that meet your needs and requirements.
Sometimes the search for a nanny is handled by a family assistant or a relative who conducts an initial interview. In most cases, however, the interview takes place in one stage and consists of these blocks:
- the candidate talks about himself;
- the employer asks questions of interest;
- parents answer the nanny’s questions.
The interview can be in two formats: live or video call.
As a rule, an online interview takes from 10 to 20 minutes. Of course, there are exceptions, but most of the time we try to keep it to half an hour.
A “live” interview is a minimum of half an hour. In our experience, the live format is much more effective, especially if a child is involved in the interview. Parents have the opportunity to observe how the child reacts to the nanny, how the contact between them occurs. We jokingly call such interviews “Love at first sight”.
The choice is always up to the parents. We are moderators only and do not make the decision for them.
Taking a polygraph is not compulsory. It is an additional option and a voluntary choice of the candidate and the employer. The polygraph evaluates actions already performed, but in no way models a person’s behaviour in the future. A structured interview provides all the information necessary to assess the candidate and the validity of the data.
After the interview, the candidate starts a trial period of up to two weeks. During this period, the nanny establishes contact with the child, agrees with the parents on the daily routine, basic duties and safety rules. And the parents make sure that the nanny meets their expectations and requirements.
We recommend that new candidates register for free in advance to join the Dream Nanny community and familiarise themselves with current offers. This will minimise stress in the event of a sudden job loss for reasons beyond your control and ensure that you don’t miss out on a suitable vacancy.
If you are in another country, if you have work experience and references, you can register by video and choose a suitable vacancy for employment. For applicants residing in Ukraine, we recommend to come to the office with original documents.
