[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would check references very thoroughly and have her come in twice for trials: once for 2-3 hours and if that goes well again for 5, but pay a minimum of 5 hours for each of the trials (so 10 hours total).  A week long trial is overkill. You will get a sense of the person from the interview and first or second trial, plus the references, and you can put in the contract a two-week break close for each side and that will be insurance enough.

Sorry about your mom's decision. It's probably for the best, though.[/quote]

Well, I meant start this week, maybe Tuesday if we like her (interview tomorrow) with the understanding that we still need to gather background check and references, if we haven't gotten them yet. (In your experience, how impt is a background check?) DH and I have both spoken on the phone with her and liked what we heard. DH is one of the more skeptical people and he loved her, so that pleasantly surprises me.

What questions should I ask?

And yes, of course we would pay her for that time!:-D[/quote]
