[quote=Anonymous]I think you should tell the nanny, but not sure you need to do that until you decide he/she's the one.  While interviewing though I would be upfront about having "trust issues".  I think it's ok to say that based on prior experiences you have some non-negotiable rules - no driving the child in a car/carseat you haven't approved, absolute honesty is required from all parties, etc...

You can say that you have learned from experience what kinds of things you can be flexible on and which things are grounds for dismissal.  Then the candidate has fair warning about your rules and you start off w/ a clear understanding about those issues.

Later, after hiring, you can tell him/her that it is likely they will run into the former nanny in the neighborhood.  You can say that she is highly regarded and you wish her all the best.  But that you wanted your current nanny to know and if she/he has any discomfort around it, or any uncomfortable interactions, she should let you know.

This could start you off well w/ a new employee in many regards.

Good luck!  Sounds uncomfortable...[/quote]
