[quote=Anonymous]MB here.  You need to plan to answer this question well, usefully, and honestly.  That doesn't mean you need to badmouth your current nanny, or that you need to feel guilty about it.  You don't want to convey guilt or uncertainly to a prospective nanny because that will just make him/her understandably cautious about you as an employer.

Know why you're replacing her and what that means for what you'll be looking for next.  Perhaps your current nanny was fantastic for infants but doesn't particularly enjoy the age your kids are now.  Maybe you now need a nanny who can drive the kids and help them with homework - and those aren't things your current nanny is suited for.  Maybe you've learned as you've gotten more confident as a parent that you have a different approach to discipline/sleep training/religion whatever... than your current nanny and you think you'd all be better off with a good fit.

Whatever your reasons, find a way to articulate them clearly and appropriately, and use that as a vehicle to talk about what you're looking for next. [/quote]
