[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ask the sitter what she would do with him on a typical week.  Ask her references how she spent her time with their kids. Ask her what she enjoys about being a nanny.
Ask what are her top 5 favorite outings with a child the same age as your kid.

I posted upthread about the fact that I do sometimes "ignore" my charges when we are at an event primarily for them to socialize with peers.  It sounds like what you want isn't someone who never texts, but someone who knows how to structure their time with your son to be exciting, stimulating and memorable.  If you asked the above questions during an interview with me, I would be able to tell you lots of ideas for how to spend time off the top of my head, and I would include in my list of great things about being a nanny that I love to explore museums, nature, etc. with my charges.  I would havemy top 5 list ready to go.  My former employers would tell you that I spent my time with their kids teaching them to cook,nsetting up projects, teaching games, keeping them physically active and going on adventures.[/quote]

8.56 again.  This is exactly what I meant.  A decent nanny knows the difference between allowing a child the freedom to play with other children without interference from the nanny and playing with the child when nobody else is around.  She will be able to speak about what her experience is with children of various ages, as well as what she likes about the age level.[/quote]
