[quote=Anonymous]I understand your concerns. Your little one is an infant and obviously they can't voice their needs yet. I was a nanny from the time I was 19 to 33, and even when finding care now for my ds, I tend to be very cautious.

If you do decide to go the nanny route, look for someone with years of experience, professional references, CPR and First Aid certified, as well as knowing how to do Heimlich. Have candidates do a phone interview first, then meet up and see how they interact with your baby. It's also important that if they don't have a car or drive, you plan a back-up option in case of emergencies if you won't be home. I'm bilingual, English/Spanish, and it's important that whoever you hire can at minimum speak conversational English imo, again, in case of emergencies. If you plan to be working from home, please let candidates know from the beginning. Some aren't comfortable with that, which I completely understand. If you have cameras in the home, let candidates know out of courtesy please. Please pay your nanny 52 weeks a year, whether or not you need care because of giving time off for vacation, holidays, etc. Best of luck![/quote]
