[quote=Anonymous]Any tips for a successful trial with a nanny when its not just a baby? My kids are 5/3/1 and we are looking for a new nanny. Our last one was never really a great fit (though she left because she ended up moving) so I'd like to do more than just an interview / meet and greet with this one to get a sense of how she really connects with the kids, how she manages their behavior etc. Has anyone had success doing this with older kids? I worry that its really tough for a nanny to step in cold and manage older children in one day without know their personalities / behavior etc, but that a week or longer isn't practical for either of us if we're waiting until she's wrapped up with her current job only to spend a week to not click and be back at square one trying to find someone. Appreciate any and all tips!! And yes I'LL PAY HER of course!! (just anticipating someone's aggressive comment here)[/quote]
