[quote=thechildcarevillage]I agree with you on many points but I don't think the issue is so black and white. The point of interviewing and checking references should be for the parents to address their areas of concern. No nanny being interviewed is going to say, "no I don't think I'm capable." But a reference might admit that the nanny has a hard time with naps early on, or that she wasn't able to sleep train, or didn't believe in it. I do think it's important for parents to have realistic expectations. Even the most experienced nanny will have to get used to a new family's unique style and the way they want to raise their kids. So to some extent they will have to train. But maybe this mom is worried that she doesn't know how to sleep train, and she wants someone who already knows how. It is possible to find a loving, engaged nanny who *also* has experience with infants and sleep training.[/quote]
