Choose your minder: sensation, but not only

This list must be completed based on your feelings, your personal anxieties and adapting to the person you have in front of you. Remember that being a maternal assistant is a difficult job, but that the person you are recruiting should love their job and make you feel. Yes, because outside of all this, which matters when you choose a person who will take care of what we love the most in the world is the feeling.

If you meet all the boxes, but you can’t feel reassured, Ask the right questions : I don’t trust him because of a detail that I saw/heard and that a number? If so, you can talk to him. Communication, as often happens everywhere, is the key.

Don’t you feel comfortable because the person does not share your educational values? You can search someone else. Don’t get out of this interview having trusted glitter in the eyes, while on paper, is everything okay? Maybe you are not ready to keep your son, or maybe this duty is not for you. Think about your options, the configuration of your family, study the choices at your disposal and try to leave some time (not too much, otherwise the place will be made by someone else) before giving your decision, to see more clearly. As we know, the night is advice and you will surely be able to see more clearly with a restful head.
