[quote=Anonymous]I saw this in the General Parenting section and tried to reply but it was locked. My advice is that two weeks is a bit overkill. I am both a mother as well as a nanny. I think between 3-5 days is more than enough time for you to train your new nanny, establish trust as well as let her bond w/your child. One day she can "shadow" you for a few hours, then another day you can "shadow" her for another few hours. This will be a perfect Q & A session for the two of you. Then one day let her be on her own, while you are near by in the home, cleaning, doing some laundry, etc. So if she has a question or needs some assistance, you are nearby. If she needs a day or two more, then you can meet a friend for coffee/lunch/shopping and see how things go. It should never take longer than five days total. In my personal and professional opinion, any nanny who needs up to two weeks of training is not a very good nanny.[/quote]
