Frequently asked questions about babysitters and childminders.

What does a babysitter and childminder do?

Takes care of the baby’s or child’s housework, bathing, toileting and meals.

Also supports the child with homework, accompanies the child to extracurricular activities, takes it to school, plays and accompanies the child most of the day.

What should a carer be like?

It should be someone who enjoys their work, responsible, affectionate, with experience, polite, decisive, tidy, punctual, who knows how to impose the discipline that parents want for their children, who generates confidence in the parents, etc.

There are families who prefer a proactive carer who has ideas and alternatives regarding the care and education of the children. On the contrary, there are other families who prefer carers who limit themselves to complying with the guidelines established by them. For this reason, it is important that you make it clear from the beginning what kind of carer you are looking for.

Does the nanny have to be registered with the National Health Care Service?

Of course, you must register the employee before she starts working with your children.

What kind of working day can a babysitter and carer do?

She can work a full day, either live-in or externally, prior agreement between the parties. She can also be hired per hours if she spends less than 120 days with your children.

What is the salary of the carer?

If they are full-time, you must pay them, at least, the minimum wage (€1.000 euros gross per month in 14 payments). The worker is entitled to 30 days of paid leave.

If the worker is hired on an hourly basis, she is usually paid €8 gross per hour, which already includes the proportional part of the holidays.

Is it appropriate for the carer to use a family car?

It depends on how much trust you have in the carer. However, from Lady Helper we recommend that you check the years of experience they have at the driving wheel, their points record in the DGT, that you include them in the policy of the vehicle that they are going to drive, that you define rules for the use of seat belts, child seats, the obligation to comply with the traffic regulations, etc.

If you have any doubts, we recommend that you choose that they use public transport, taxis or VTC for the nanny’s journeys with your children, because the most important thing is always their safety.

What to do when a new nanny arrives?

Before the new professional arrives at your home, you should explain to your children that a new nanny is coming, so that they can gradually adapt to the arrival of a new person in their lives.

You should let the school know if the nanny is going to go to school or to the bus stop with them. It is also a good idea to let your neighbours or relatives know.

Inform the nanny of the children’s habits, routines and tastes, because the more comfortable the nanny is, the more comfortable your children will be with her.
