[quote=Anonymous]The more attention you (and the nanny) pay to these details in the beginning, the better.  It's good to get everyone's concerns/wishes out on the table early on - then you can work it all out. If you wait until later you'll have developed habits you'll then have to break, built up concerns or frustrations, etc...

Just sit down and talk about expectations, how the nanny has done this in the past and what worked well in those instances, what your family habits (and wishes) are.

If you want her to feel welcome to join you for dinner sometimes, or if you want to keep dinner just the family, or if you expect to include her in holiday (or whatever) celebrations, what space in the fridge is hers, if you want her to try to get laundry done before 11 pm because the dryer is really loud, or whatever....   Are you ok w/ her having guests (overnight or otherwise) and/or are there limits you want to place on that.  Are her guests welcome in the common areas of the house?

You'll work it out, I'm sure - but the more conversation the sooner the better.[/quote]
