basic skills that nannies and babysitters must have

Being a professional babysitter is a rewarding job that requires a range of skills beyond just taking care of children. In addition to being passionate about working with kids, a good babysitter also needs to have excellent negotiation ability, creativity, problem-solving skills, and time management. These skills are essential for providing quality care and making the job easier for both the babysitter and the parents.
Madawa as a babysitter-and-nanny agency in Bangkok will summarize them for all of us.

Negotiation Ability

Don’t think this means salary negotiation. It’s the ability to negotiate with the child in your care. Infants are easy to manage, according to their babysitters. But if the child who is being cared for is more than one year old, then a rebellious attitude has started to emerge. This is where the babysitter’s negotiating skills are needed for the little one to eat, take a bath, take a nap, and so on. And of course by negotiating here we do not mean coercion or force.

Creativity

Small children get bored easily. When they do, they become cranky. The ideal babysitter will have a creative nature and does not easily run out of ideas to take care of the little one in a variety of fun ways. Of course, creative here means good creative. No teaching your little one to cheat or tell lies, and so on.

Handling Problems

Of course a Mom will be annoyed if a babysitter frequently contacts her to ask what she should do. There will always be problems when caring for small children: running out of diapers, not wanting to eat, crying non-stop, fighting with his or her siblings, being scratched by a pet cat at home, and the list goes on. A good babysitter will take care of youngsters knowing well how to handle all these problems.

Time Management

A babysitter’s job isn’t just sitting around watching small children play. It also involves preparing meals or snacks, managing how long the child can watch television, what time to put the little one to sleep for a nap, and so on. If a babysitter is not disciplined and poor at time management, there may be problems.
For experienced babysitters who have these abilities Madawa’s Premium Nanny program can provide opportunities with higher salaries, on the condition that the nanny is willing to take additional training to upgrade their babysitting skills.
