[quote=Anonymous]MB here. Nice problem to have! Here's my two cents: - always trust your gut. (Is this your first nanny? If not, then all the more reason to trust your gut instinct as you've done this before.) - hire for the toddler. Babies, frankly, are relatively easy and they all turn into toddlers - who can be much more challenging. - do a trial day or two to see how things go. - have another conversation w/ the nanny you like, and also handle the reference calls really pointedly w/ an eye toward your specific questions. - try to figure out what is driving your instinctive preference. You might trust it more if you can put your finger on a couple of things (more direct connection w/ the kids being no small thing, hunch that her answers - while vaguer- were perhaps less "canned"/more genuine than the other, etc...) Really the reference checks ought to be of help with this I think, and her work history will hopefully give you a couple of clues also. Good luck![/quote]
