The New Childcare Bible—A Must-Have Whether You Have
Occasional Sitters or a Full-Time Nanny Finding the right caregiver can be one of the most
life-changing decisions a parent makes. Whether it's a
kindly neighbor for the weekday latchkey hours, a teenage
babysitter one night a week, or a full-time professional
nanny, the right caregiver can enrich a child's world and
literally grow her brain. Hire the wrong one, and this
person could cause developmental delays and stress for the
entire family. In her groundbreaking new book, Secrets of the Nanny
Whisperer: A Practical Guide for Finding and Achieving the
Gold Standard of Care for Your Child, nationally
recognized parenting expert Tammy Gold draws from her
extensive background in child developmental psychology,
social work, and family therapy to offer the first childcare
bible for parents. Knowing the impact caregivers have on children coupled with
the unregulated often unknown world of in-home childcare
workers, Gold has devoted her professional career, and now
this book, to helping parents navigate through this
important--and woefully overlooked--process. She arms
parents with invaluable tools, tips, and insider secrets to
finding the perfect caregiver-family match. Gold's Family Needs Assessment helps parents identify the
traits and conditions that are "must-haves," added "pluses,"
or nonnegotiable "deal breakers." Parents can then use this
list of qualities to quickly weed out unqualified
candidates. She also details what to ask over the phone and
in a face-to-face interview, how to structure a trial run
(which she deems essential), and what to spell out in a
Nanny-Family Work Agreement--another essential tool included
in the book. Readers learn her "Nanny Speak 1-2-3" technique
to help clarify and resolve issues with the caregiver in a
productive, positive way. In addition to saving hours and energy, Parents will also
discover as much about parenting as they will about finding
a nanny. Secrets of the Nanny Whisperer is
chock-full of parenting gems about children's developmental
stages, ways to nurture and stimulate the child, and
essential strategies for maintaining harmonious and
high-functioning parent-child-caregiver relationships. This
book is a must read for parents who want to create a
happier, healthier and safer childcare experience for their
child.
