[quote=Anonymous]Nanny here.

This doesn't sound like a good fit, at all.  Babysitters see the kids when they're winding down and going to bed, possibly during the day to have fun, so it's not a good gauge of how well the person can handle four kids in tougher circumstances.  With that said, your child doesn't sound like he would require someone with special needs experience to me.  There is a wide range of behavior that is still considered normal, and I've had several charges with much worse behavior, also not special needs.  You need a nanny who is experienced at handling this age, experienced with getting kids to do homework when they do't want to do it (preferably without arguments, namecalling or other bad behavior, but that's less important than the homework being finished), and someone who is experienced enough to [b]come to you[/b] with alternatives when the current situation no longer works, rather than expecting you to solve the problems.

I wish you luck, but I would definitely recommend a new nanny.  Monday as the notice date, today and tomorrow to post and start screening.  I would also suggest that you do homework with the child after you're done with work until you find someone else.[/quote]
