[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello everyone,

I’m new in the nanny industry. I worked as a preschool associate, lot of baby sitting as well as in the NGO. Right now, I found a position and I would do the interview tomorrow but I need some inputs. Some friends and nannies gave me some responses but I would love to hear from professional nannies and mommies. Here they are:

Thank you!

1: best discipline, and your style, I believe in positive reinforcement as well as time-outs. If a child does not listen to me after two warnings, I then put him in a time-out for two minutes, etc.
2: some scenarios, what if child didnt want to wash hands how would you encourage them? I would first perhaps wash my hands alongside them & remark how much fun it is washing my hands. If that didn’t help - I would then begin singing, “This is the way we wash our hands, wash our hands, wash our hands…..” After they were finished > I would let them know how happy I was that they did it. Wash, rinse repeat throughout the rest of the day. :)
3: what if family has guests over and kids didn’t want to go upstairs? (Odd question!?) I would mention a specific toy/book/game upstairs + feign excitement for going upstairs to play. Or if I know in advance, perhaps I would save a novelty activity upstairs for when company comes over…..
4: family finds it important to do independent play, I agree. Every child should be encouraged from time to time to play alone since it is unrealistic to expect them to be completely entertained by an adult all the time.
5: if grandparents or extended family come over how would you handle it? I would do my job the same way that I normally would do it. Of course if another person wanted to interact/engage the child, I would encourage it.
