[quote=Anonymous]I've been on here a long time and I've made a list of a couple important things to find out about your new nanny before you hire her.

1) Does she have any looming health problems? Ask her when the last time she visited the doctor was and for what. It couldn't hurt to also ask if she goes to the doctor on weekends or only weekdays.

2) Are her parents close to dying? This will cause upwards of a week of leave requests. Not worth dealing with for a new nanny.

3) Discuss "light housework" and have her spell out exactly what she is willing to do. Specifically ask her about dishes, dishwashers, dog poop, child poop on carpet, stained clothes. Nothing worse than a log of poop in the sink because nanny can't wash cloth diapers because it's "housework".

4) Does she have a car? If not she will almost never show up to work unless it's warm and sunny. Winter will be your downfall.

5) Does she live close? A nanny who lives more than 15 minutes away will always get stuck in "traffic" when she runs late because she was on Facebook.[/quote]
