[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this woman is very smart and knows her stuff. What exactly were the questions she asked you? It is hard to determine if they were inappropriate unless I know exactly what she asked of you.

Regarding the trial days, it makes NO sense to hire a nanny for sure unless one goes through a few trial days, trust me. As a nanny, these are necessary for both sides to ensure a good fit. Nothing is worse than finding out later on that the job is a bad match and things not only end badly, but a poor child suffers the most. On your end, I wouldn't give notice to my current job until you are hired for a new one.

Regarding meeting at a coffee shop, I think she is doing this to be safe. It also protects you as well OP so do not be offended. There are many crazy stories out there and people cannot be too careful anymore.

So no..I see no red flags here.[/quote]

I agree with this.  I'm an MB.  If I had a six-week-old, I would be doing as much upfront screening as possible.  That would include having my husband help and give me opinions, asking questions to make sure we were a good match up front so I didn't waste time meeting people that I know weren't going to work, and doing a trial period.  And I would advise anyone meeting anyone from the internet for the first time to meet at a public place.  A second in-home visit can be done later.[/quote]
