Onboarding new nanny -- best practices?

[Anonymous]

We have a long list of details about our family, the role, what we expect of our nanny etc. We go through it together at the beginning, and then the nanny has it as a reference guide going forward. If the nanny is smart/good she won't need it as much, but not all of them are!
This is separate to our employment contract.

Is the nanny allowed to give you details of what she expects from you?

When our second nanny came on board, my two year old was a little fussy for about two days but then quickly adjusted. But this feels different -- we are moving, leaving our beloved nanny behind and now I have two kids, ages 3.5 and 1.5.

Anyone have advice?

Stop using "on boarding" for hiring. Such a disgusting term.

Why disgusting and what term would you use??

Omg. Onboarding is just fine. Nannies all hyped over nothing.
