[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am trying to vet a nanny, and was given a list of questions to ask potential nannies. How would a nanny answer ( how do I know it's a good answer) to these questions below

- What do you like/dislike most about being a nanny? Make sure the answers are very specific & offer clarity. No genetic answers like "I love children!" But rather why they enjoy being around children?
- What are your strength/weaknesses? When the potential nanny lists her weaknesses, she should also list steps she is taking in order to overcome them.
- What do children ( our child is 4 months old) like about you? She should give specific examples to this question rather than say simply because she is fun, loving & energetic, etc. She should give a situation example for you.
- How does the baby or child benefit by having you as their nanny? This is the best question overall and any generic answers should be red flags.
- What do you offer my family as a nanny? Hopefully the answer to this will be something positive that the nanny feels very strongly about + is something unique about her that makes her stand apart from other nannies!

I want to be prepared and know if the nanny is giving good answers. How would educated and experienced nannies answer these questions? [/quote]

I think these are actually very excellent questions OP.[/quote]
