[quote=Anonymous]My DH and I have always done the daycare route.  We pulled our toddler DS out of daycare due to constant illness.  We are looking for full time care for him and occasionally his brother (age 6) in the afternoon for a little over an hour when he gets home from the bus and on school holidays.  We are offering a competitive benefits package and rate.  I have 4 interviews set up so far.  How many interviews do parents typically go through?  Any tips or red flags I should be looking for?

Also, because we are used to a great deal of oversight with the daycare system I am nervous about my son being alone with someone I don't know yet.  I was thinking of getting a nannycam, but of course telling the nanny before hand.  I want to have an open, honest and close relationship with this person.  At the beginning I will not know them and it just makes me nervous.  Do families have experience about nanny cams they recommend or how this worked?

Any other thoughts for this newbie are appreciated:)
