[quote=Anonymous]I am a nanny.  I don’t have a college degree or teaching background, although I did attend some college.  I’ve nannied for over a decade.  I could do this job.

Traits to look for:

1) in-depth knowledge of child development (ask questions like “What educational goals do you think we should have for a kindergartener?  For a first-grader?”  “How would you go about building a curriculum for each child?” “What educational philosophy or pedagogy do you adhere to most?”

2) Self-starter (“What would you do on a typical hot summer day with kids the ages of our kids?  What about a rainy day? How would you juggle having such different ages when it came to homeschooling?”)

3) Experienced (only look at candidates who have juggled AT LEAST 3 kids before, working full-time, preferably with a homeschool background).

4) Realistic (“What would a typical school-day schedule look like with 3 kids these ages?”  “Can you give me examples of a curriculum or unit you might do?”  “What resources do you think you would need to homeschool successfully?”)
