[quote=Anonymous]I don't think you need an older nanny per se, but you want a professional--at least 3 references, at least two of those for longer than 3 years. You want someone who brings up issues with you and who is comfortable with an extremely clear and detail contract. Agree that asking interviewees to give concrete examples and asking about a wide range of issues is key. "Has a child in your care ever suffered a medical emergency? How did you handle it?" "How would you handle a tantrum in a two-year-old?" "How would you juggle a preschooler and a toddler at a park? At a museum?" "What are some activities you enjoy doing with a child this age?" "If you were concerned about my child's development in X area, how would you raise that issue with us?" "How do you like to be given feedback? Give an example of a time when an employer offerred feedback in a way that was helpful to you."[/quote]
