[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly you should just stay home. Not being able to keep an eye and ear open let’s me know you have control issues. I wouldn’t want to work for you [/quote]

Not necessarily control issues - just concerns about the care of a child who may not be able to articulate what is happening.  Infants cannot say "the nanny ignored me all day" or even worse, abused them in some way.  Older kids are probably less of an issue.  
If the nanny was working in a daycare setting, there would be a lot of oversight and people around so I do not understand the concern that some nannies have about having total autonomy.  Statistically, infant deaths and abuse are more likely to happen in at home care than in centers because there are a lot of people at centers monitoring, and if a child becomes un-manageable, there is someone to trade off with.
Good nannies are hard to find.  Good luck!  If this turns out to not be the right nanny, you can find another.  It takes a lot of work, but do-able.   [/quote]
