[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Absolutely go with #2. Education and energy are the two most important things (for me) in a nanny. [/quote] So actual experience don’t matter? [/quote] You proved her point. Actual experience DOESN’T matter... I am a nanny and I may be turned away from positions because I never finished my degree in an unrelated field, but I very much value education and I focus on that with my charges. OP, go with your gut. Personally, I would want the person who wasn’t great at English to use her native language and I think many parents value that. But I get the sense from your post that you lean toward candidate #2, so that’s who you should hire. [/quote] If a simple typo (typing on an iPhone) proves her point I would hate to see you and her in the real world. While education is important, I graduated from UMD, I would never leave my child with someone who doesn’t have significant experience. A degree doesn’t mean you know exactly what you are doing, hence why even after medical school doctors have to do a residency. [/quote]
