[quote=Anonymous]Sure, you can do that, and it can be very useful - though I wouldn't advise it for weeks. I have done interviews in my home with my final candidates, in a way that let me see the interaction with my kids. And then when we've extended an offer we've done that with a plan to have the new nanny come for a few hours one afternoon before she starts - so she can get to know the kids. I usually leave them alone for a while during that visit, and I pay for her time. Then, in our contract, we have a one month probationary period during which time either party can terminate the relationship for any reason. So that essentially amounts to a trial period. I've never had to invoke that, happily, but it does offer some protection if someone turns out to be unreliable, unable or unwilling to do what they said, or uncomfortable for whatever reason (smoking, religion, whatever...)[/quote]
