[quote=Anonymous]It depends on the situation. Are you looking for a 15 hour a week nanny or a 60 hour a week nanny? Is your kid unmedicated because his symptoms are mild, or because you believe medication should be a last resort and are managing symptoms through a complicated system of behavioral management techniques? I think you should absolutely be up front about the diagnosis, but if the days aren't too long (40 hours or less) and the symptoms are either mild or controlled, then you could try working with a nanny who doesn't have existing SN experience. Everybody has to start somewhere, and you can pay less if you are willing to be someone's guinea pig family and train her on the job.[/quote]
