[quote=Anonymous]You don't want to find a special needs nanny unless your child has special needs. You need to find a nanny who won't take any crap, agree to pay whatever she's asking for, and agree to enforce whatever consequences your child earns. If you are willing to come online and describe your child as difficult, be realistic about what you need. Frankly, as someone who specializes in behavior problems, without and without special needs, violent or not, I don't do live-out. I do live-in because the behavior with the nanny is usually also happening at home, and it's happening at home. It's happening with friends, with relatives, with strangers. I come in and evaluate, then we have a family meeting and set the ground rules. It's better to be strict at first, respond the same way every time, and then gradually relax the rules as behavior improves. If you don't think you can do that, don't get a sitter or a nanny. Nobody is going to stay.[/quote]
