[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MB here - you can set up regular chats to touch base on how things are going - maybe once a week for the first couple of weeks, then every couple of weeks, and then monthy or something.

I would be straightforward w/ your new nanny in having learned a few lessons about things you did wrong the first time that you hope to do a better job of this time - hence the regular conversations, you'll try to be clear and timely with anything that concerns you etc...   And be sure to let her know that she should feel free to do the same - that you hope this will be a long term relationship that is good for everyone and open honest communication about what is working, how things are going, changes that happen as your daughter grows, etc... will be helpful.

Good luck.  I think you'll be fine.  [/quote]

Thanks, PP - this is an idea I'm interested in.  I would on some level like her to know that we didn't have a great experience last time, but that I learned a lot and I'm hoping to do better myself this time.  That way she knows what I'm working with for this year.  I think I was afraid she would be put off by that though.  [/quote]

Not at all. As a nanny, its important for me to know your hang ups and things of particular concern. Also, hearing you acknowledge that you made some mistakes but are trying to do better this time would really impress me and make me more open with you. [/quote]
