[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a 4th time mom and just did my first trial days (two weekends because she had another weekday job). We got this nanny through an agency, too.

I did it because I needed to *know,* not just assume based on her answers at an interview and what her references said, that she could handle all of our kids and their mix of ages for an 8-hour day. I have also had a couple of nannies who really could not separate their personal and professional lives, and I wanted to see how we interacted.

So, she was hired contingent on those trial days.[/quote]

In my cases I had the job and already signed a contract. We did 1 day or two half days the week before the mom went back to work. I understand that its not easy to leave a 3 month period, especially leaving them for 9-11 hours a day with a stranger. Is it to gain a peace of mind?

I've always been given great feedback from the parents and never had an issue. They all said they knew I was their nanny from the moment they interviewed. I'm just curious if they trusted me so much would they have me do a shadow day? [/quote]
