[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would ask specific questions in the interview about how she will handle various situations:

- Both kids are crying / being needy for different reasons
- Infant napping, toddler wants to play.  Is your baby going to be home for all naps, or napping in stroller so toddler doesn't get bored?
- Classes / commitments that she needs to bring toddler to
- As the kids get older, if you want her to take your baby to a class / activity, will you have to pay for both kids?
- Food for toddler[/quote]

This is a good list of questions for the nanny.  Also consider the following:

What she will do if her child is sick.  Do you want the illness brought into your home and around your infant, or would you prefer that the nanny use sick leave to care for her child at her own home?

Is it okay with you if the nanny takes your child along to her child's MD appointments, shopping for her child's needs, etc.

Do you want the nanny to take on meal preparation for your toddler or other housekeeping tasks.  If so, given that four year olds don't nap much, how will will the nanny accomplish these things while your child naps but hers is awake, so that the chores don't cut into her ability to engage with your child during his or her awake hours.[/quote]
