How to support your nanny’s growth and wellbeing

Your nanny cares deeply for your child — but who’s looking out for them? Supporting your nanny’s growth and well-being builds a stronger, longer-lasting relationship for everyone.

Start by recognizing their work. A simple “thank you,” remembering their birthday, or showing appreciation goes a long way. Encourage ongoing training, like child development classes or CPR refreshers, and consider covering the cost if it fits your budget.

Open communication matters too. Invite feedback on your routines, and check in regularly to ask how they’re feeling in the role.

If possible, offer benefits like paid time off or a predictable schedule — it helps your nanny feel respected and valued.

When you hire through Zuzo, you’re not just finding someone to help. You’re starting a relationship. And when both sides feel supported, everyone — especially your child — benefits most.
