[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is one reason I went for less experience. I wouldn't want to be told how to do my job if I were an expert, either. She needs a family that needs someone to truly take over because they both work 7-7. I knew I would want to be more involved. The questions a PP gave you were good ones, but you have to find the happy medium between the uber-competent nanny who doesn't need or want direction, and the nanny who can only say, "I'll do whatever you want" in the interview -- that one will drive you equally batty with her lack of initiative and problem-solving skills. You want someone who sees herself as part of a team with you, and sees herself as supporting the family, vs. being her own child care service that you have hired.[/quote] NP I just posted below re our Nanny who we love. She has full control which took a bit of getting used to but she’s so much better than I am at most of this stuff so I feel so grateful to have her. [/quote]
