[quote=Anonymous]I am a nanny and have started a few days before with majority of previous families. Basically we did 2-3 full days. During those days I would be shown around the home and shown where everything I need is. Mom walks me briefly through child's routine and If the baby has any special requirements or prefers a certain way to be put to sleep ( happens!) then I am shown that. Normally the moms will leave for appointments and leave me alone ( sometimes 5-6 hour blocks) and I do the normal - play, feed, naps, etc. With mom home, she will either interact with child and me or do tasks she needs done while watching how I interact with her child. If time allows, we go out for a walk in the neighborhood and I'm shown around ( if new to area). I'm a infant nanny so I always start with 11-13 week olds. I love trial days. It reassures the parents that they chose a great nanny and they ( especially mom) feels confident and comfortable leaving her child in my care. Going back to worry is always hard, but it's an easier transition when the mom has trust in my abilities and care. I also love that I can get a clear picture of the child's routine, how/what they like, and I'm able to cover any additional questions I may have. Good luck! [/quote]
