Tips for Working Effectively With a Confinement Nanny

You've found the perfect confinement nanny – now it's time to create a harmonious and supportive environment. Here at NewBubs Confinement, we want to equip you with the tools to ensure a smooth and successful experience:

1. Clearly Communicate Expectations

Open communication is key!  During the first few days, talk with your nanny about your expectations regarding daily routines, newborn care practices, and household chores.  Be clear about your preferences for feeding, sleeping, and soothing techniques for your baby.  The more specific you are, the better your nanny can tailor their approach to your needs.

Respect is a two-way street. Discuss boundaries  with your nanny regarding personal space, working hours, and communication channels.  Let them know what level of involvement you prefer in certain tasks,  and be open to their suggestions as well.

3. Maintain Open Communication

Don't hesitate to speak up if you have any questions, concerns, or changes in your preferences.  Your nanny supports you, and open communication is essential for building trust and ensuring everyone is on the same page.
