[quote=nannydebsays]Does your sister like kids? Does she like toddlers and babies? Does she (or has she in the past) babysit regularly for other people? Those are the essential questions to ask yourself before asking your sister to be your "nanny". If she isn't into kids, and has no idea of how boring/frustrating/heartwarming/boring/isolating/amazing childcare can be, then I think hiring her is an awful idea. However, if she loves kids, babysits frequently, and has some idea of what she's agreeing to do, ask her if she'd be interested. Unless she is 110% committed, I would have a back-up plan in place - it would deeply suck for you to have been back at work for a month, your sister walks out, and you have to find something ASAP.[/quote]
