[quote=Anonymous]It is more about attitude than anything else. But I would say mid-level experience and age are often best. One nanny I had was a grandmother, lots of experience, very set in her ways, thought she knew more than me, and had a lot of attitude. Next I had someone very young with a little experience. She had a hard time learning and really understanding what it meant to be a nanny, as opposed to a babysitter. She was fun with the kids, but it took a long time for her to learn the basics, and she had no interest in cleaning up after the kids, doing laundry, and the less "fun" parts of watching children. I found someone in the middle, and she was best (7 years experience, still young and energetic). But a lot I think was personality in general. If the young one had a better work ethic, or the grandmother had less attitude. I know people who have great older, experienced nannies, and I know others with great au pairs who are young and pretty inexperienced. [/quote]
