[quote=Anonymous]You sound great! I would say keep doing what you are doing. Be yourself.

In hiring a nanny, while I do look at how she looks on paper, what usually sells me in the end is our chemistry. Either we have it or we don't.

I am a laid~back + casual parent.
I do not view a nanny as simply our "hired help."
While I also do not view her as a family member, I do not want her to be treated like an employee or guest. I look at her as a friend to my child...a very special friend to her.
I like to think my nanny will love + care for my child in her own unique way and would like to think she will play an important part in my child's life for years to come.

During the interview, I like it when a nanny is outgoing. I like when a nanny is real...by real I mean she is not trying to "win me over" by any means. What I see is what I will get.
I like it when the nanny asks me the right questions that she should ask and also seems comfortable in my home and in my presence.

Most of all, it depends on how she interacts w/my child.
I want to see her talk to my child in an age~appropriate manner and engage my child in play.

Hope this helps. :)[/quote]
