One of the most unique relationships is the one between an employer and their domestic staff.
Always remember that this person lives in your home and is privy to all your habits, quirks and personal information. In addtion, the employee is entrusted with the care of your home and your family.
If the relationship is to be sustained, you must enter it with the understanding that you are hiring a professional person to perform certain tasks. You must set and articulate reasonable expectations, or you will not be able to find—and retain—a capable person.
When hiring help, you must clearly communicate your needs to potential employees, along with your child rearing philosophy and the household methods you perfer.
Have clear priorities. Don't expect your Nanny or Housekeeper to be able to cook gourmet meals!
