Listing On The Nanny Noticeboard

Connectedness is important.

Social connections matter.

Seeking out, connecting and socializing with others is not only of benefit to the children in your care but is central to your health and well-being.

SK recognizes the importance of building connections and invite you to become part of the SK Nanny Noticeboard community.

Being a nanny, especially if you are starting a new job or in a new location, can sometimes present challenges in networking.

We have some simple guidelines to follow to safeguard your safety and wellbeing when using this community:

• Provide as much information as you can to the type of networking you are interested in, for example, play date, nanny friend (new friend for specific activity), after hours friend, etc.
• Provide no personal information. While it may seem that you are being more helpful the more information you provide it is not always the case. There is no need to provide anything more than an email address or connect via social media. This way you can screen the potential nanny ‘friend’ as well.
• DO NOT provide your (or your families) phone number, address or even the children’s names.
• We would advise including a postcode or general area so your general location is know or if you are willing to travel. This will save you time in the long run.
• If it progresses to a meeting ONLY meet in a public place. If at all possible meet with the nanny before introducing the children to the nanny and his/her charges. This will also ensure your children’s and your safety, as well as ensuring you click too before taking the new friendship any further.
• Remember if you are connecting with others with your the children you care for, then you must check with your family. You need confirmation that they are OK for you to do this.
• Remember confidentiality.
