[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an employer rather than a nanny. I asked each candidate how they would handle discipline when a one yr old wasn't listening, a 2 yr old was trying to run into the street, a 3 yr old was throwing a temper tantrum in a store, a 4 yr old being defiant, etc. Basically, I wanted to know how they handle stress.

I also asked what would make THEM uncomfortable. I wanted to hear what their deal-breakers were. I asked how comfortable they were with being assertive, how they would handle if they and DH & I had different discipline ideas to implement, what they envisioned themselves doing during nap time, etc.

I asked a lot of open-ended questions rather than "We believe in one warning, then a spank, is that something you'll follow?" So I asked each one "Tell me about a time you lost control of the kids you were watching." "Tell me about a time when you lost your temper and wish you had handled things differently." [/quote]
Why would you assume I have lost my temper?
Big mistake on your part.[/quote]
