[quote=Anonymous]1) I don't think there is anything you can "do" to get over your own fears besides place nanny cams and spend hours reviewing them until you feel like you can trust her. Other people don't have those trust issues so there is nothing for them to overcome. The families I have worked for have always seemed so welcoming and trusting, maybe they used hidden nanny cams, who knows. I think most of it is just your gut, when you meet them do you feel like they are kind and gentle and would treat a child correctly? When you talk to their references do they reinforce that feeling?

2) There are tons of people looking for weekend and evening jobs, but they are usually babysitters. If you are thinking of finding a nanny and then starting with 4 hours a week in the evening and asking her to go full-time down the road then that is unlikely to happen. Anything is possible but if someone wants full-time they want it now. But you can use babysitters to get over your fears and hopefully be able to feel comfortable when it comes time to hire a nanny.[/quote]
