Leaving your child with someone new is one of the hardest steps a parent takes. The good news: trust does not have to rest on gut feeling alone. With the right questions and the right verification, you can make the decision with confidence instead of anxiety.
Start with verification, not vibes
A warm first impression matters, but it is not proof of safety. Ask how a caregiver has been verified. On Maa Nest, every caregiver completes Aadhaar-based verification through DigiLocker and a live face check, and is approved by our team before they are ever listed — so the groundwork is done before you even meet.
Ask about experience and approach
Ask how they have cared for children of your child’s age, how they handle routines, meals and naptime, and what they do in a small emergency. You are listening less for perfect answers and more for calm, thoughtful confidence.
Watch how care actually begins
Trust is built by visibility. A session starts only when you share your own OTP, and from that moment you can see your caregiver’s live location for as long as it runs — so you stay in control every time, not just the first time.
Choosing care is emotional. Let verification carry the weight that instinct alone should not.
