Whether part-time, full-time or freelance, working from home has become the norm for many people, including parents. In fact, 35% of people who have jobs that can be done remotely work from home and 71% of those who work from home all or some of the time say doing so helps them balance their work and personal lives. Needless to say, this majorly changes how things look around the house, particularly for nannies and sitters.
But don’t take it from us. Listen to what Jada Rashawn, an experienced nanny and family consultant, thinks are the top three things you need to succeed at your job while the parents are working from home.
-
Establish Clear Boundaries
When everyone in the house knows where they’ll be and when, it can give you the space you need to do your job effectively without interrupting the parents.
2. Communicate Your Ideal Work Environment
Work together with the parents so that you, they, and the kids all have what you need for a great day.
3. Give Each Other Grace
Sometimes things won’t turn out perfectly, but that’s okay. Work together to improve things for the next time.
