Hiring a caregiver is a serious decision that needs to be handled carefully. Some parents in Calgary are in a hurry to have a caregiver as they think they are busy, but it will not be an excuse if the caregiver turns out to be absolute unreliable and unprofessional. Others do not hire a caregiver at all as what they think that there cannot be a perfect caregiver. It is true, if they failed to look for caregivers at correct places in the correct way. All will be discussed here, starting from how to arrange a proper selection process.

Interviews are must for selection process, but not too much or not too less. In most occasions two interviews are recommended, but it depends. If it is required third interview can be arranged. Anything above three interviews can be confusing and below two would not do any good. (Can parents really decide who is the best to take care of their child by having a 15 minutes discussion with a person?) Parents can save considerable amount of time if they decided not to check all the documents, qualifications, certificates at the first interview. Asking for previous references is a good option though as it allows parents to check if is the given references are correct or not and clear out any issues at the second interview. On the other hand if parents asked the prospective caregivers to bring all the documents for the first interview, parents can check those documents and directly cross-cut the ones who do not poss desired qualifications and experiences. Then at the second interview parents are able to analyze freely only the qualified caregivers. The fact may depend on what type of and how much prospective caregivers you got in the list prior the interviewing process.

The more prospective caregivers whom you are able to find the more options you got. Newspapers, notice boards are traditional ways of finding caregivers while nowadays parents are more into agencies that available in Calgary offline/online. Parents may want to filter potential caregivers found via newspapers, notice boards from the scratch which is the major con of doing so and also if there is someone who is vicious, that person may visit your home as to attend first interview which is not safe. On the other hand most of caregiver referral agencies in Calgary do process and filter their caregivers therefore the recommended way of finding prospective caregivers in Calgary.
