[quote=Anonymous]1. Do the rules stay consistent, or are they inconsistent?

2. Are they prompt about paying, and have they ever expected you to pay for something out of pocket, with or without reimbursement?

3. Do they pay on the books?  Are they prompt about providing a W-2?

4. What does each child like to do?  What do the kids like to do together?  Do the kids have camps when school is out, or is the nanny working all day?

5. Do they see the position as house manager (organizing, scheduling, etc) or housekeeper (cleaning, cooking, laundry)?

6. How are the parents about communication?  Do they tend to micromanage, give a decent amount of authority or keep completely separate?

7. How much driving is required?  Do they reimburse correctly for mileage or ever ask that the nanny use her car?

8. How do the kids interact with the nanny?  Are they open to new nannies, or are they burnout after too many caregivers?

9. Do they try to push additional duties not outlined in the contract without appropriate remuneration?

10. Do they respect the nanny or make her feel like an unwanted, but necessary, warm body?[/quote]
