[quote=Anonymous]Nanny here.  I found my nanny job via sittercity.  One of my pet peeves is people who say, "Oh, I would never hire some random stranger off the internet."

It doesn't work that way at all.  At first there are a couple of quick emails exchanged.  Then if things look good between both parties, then there are more in-depth emails exchanged.  Then phone numbers.  Then lengthy interview on the phone.  Then if things still look good, then a meeting in person. The meeting in person can happen at a public place without the kids, or in the home with the kids and both parents.  Or it can stretch out into an interview first in a public place and then another meeting to meet the rest of the family in the home.   Then references are checked.

Then mom has the nanny over to watch the kids for a few hours while she is there.  Next is a day where the parent runs some errands for a few hours and leaves the nanny with the kids.

And it still proceeds slowly from there.  Few families are going to feel comfortable with the nanny taking the kids out on activities the first few weeks.
