A good nanny is up to date on child development, continues to seek out additional information, knows from practice or intuition how to head off tantrums, hitting, or stealing toys, keeps young children on dependable schedules, and of course loves kids - as well as having qualities generally desired in all professions (organized, efficient, patient, good communicator).

A good nanny employee respects healthy boundaries when it comes to sharing personal information or bringing drama to work, anticipates parents' anxieties and tries to preemptively address them, handles her day to day responsibilities without needing guidance from the parents but always consults them when it comes to issues of sleeping, eating, discipline, or other areas where parental philosophy might vary, does everything that is outlined in her job contract reliably, expects to get paid on time but never asks for an advance on a paycheck, and otherwise conducts herself as a professional.[/quote]

Excellent response. I know every family/nanny relationship is different, but maintaining some distance between your professional life and personal life is important for both sides.[/quote]
