[quote=Anonymous]I'd have each of them by for a trial full day, with you around but attempting not to be involved at all (just listening/observing), and then go from there.

A young, energetic, recently trained SL nanny would be excellent - but if she has no nannying experience she might not have any idea how much work FT nannying is, particularly with a child who has special needs. It could be that she's completely prepared for it and would shine, or it could be she'd be overwhelmed and burn out quickly.

An older, experienced nanny who has a personal understanding of what having special needs can mean, who probably has a great deal of patience and a lot of experience staying calm and trying to think outside of the box (for her daughter) could also be wonderful. A full day would show you how much energy she has (not everyone who's overweight/has diabetes is also low-energy) and how up-to-date her understanding is. It's possible she does a lot of reading on her own to stay on top of latest developments and to learn new techniques, which would put her more on par with Nanny A.

OP, I think you need to see them both in action in an 8-10 hour day and then go with your gut.[/quote]
