[quote=Anonymous]I had a newborn when I was interviewing nannies, so I wasn't looking for someone to hold the baby. In fact, someone that understood the issues with a newborn and hygiene was a plus. What sold me on our current nanny is that she was a very calming influence, which was perfect for my husband and I who are much more type A. She made me feel comfortable, spoke and communicated clearly (and I felt like she and my husband and I communicated) which was important. I interviewed at least one nanny who didn't answer my questions, which was a major minus since I want to be able to ask how my kids are and to get an answer to what I ask. I also had one candidate who dressed inappropriately. I agree that was a major minus. Even if a nanny job is not a suit-wearing situation off the shoulder tops and high heels are not appropriate clothing. I think communication and trust are key. And that will go both ways - you should see what you think of the family! Good luck with your interview.[/quote]
