[quote=Anonymous]MB here - I appreciate the sensitivity re holding babies.  I think you have to read the parents a bit as we all have different levels of comfort w/ strangers, germs, etc...

In my case the nanny we chose is the one I felt almost instantly comfortable with so I was happy to hand her a baby (w/ others I didn't have that comfort, or hadn't even invited them to my house - interviewed them at a coffee shop).  The nanny we chose was clearly so drawn to our babies that I could see she was itching to hold them.  And when she did her face just lit up.  It was a genuine, authentic response and exactly the kind of loving care I hoped to find.  Watching her handle the babies was actually really important to me and definitely sealed the deal.  We also took the twins on a walk together which was a time for more relaxed interaction but also let me see that she (the nanny) automatically grabbed burp cloths, extra pacifiers, etc...   Her experience showed in her natural instincts, without her even realizing what she was doing.  But as a new mother I was very aware that was I was still reminding myself to do was automatic to her.

You sound very thoughtful and sensitive to the impression you're giving and concerns the parents might have.

Good luck - I hope you get the job and it turns out to be a great fit for all of you![/quote]
