[quote=Anonymous]Thank you everyone.

OP here: She seemed like a very professional, wonderful nanny. Her religious involvement is not a major issue for us, since I would assume she would not bring religion in if we asked her not to.

My concern was that *she* might find this a bad fit, but that perhaps she hadn't thought about that. During the interview it was clear that she understood we are a different religion, but afterward it occurred to me that she probably thought that is was more a difference of *type* of religion than it was of degree of religiousness.

I imagine that what would be natural for her, for example, would be to talk about God if something came up for the kids (a death or serious illness in the family, difficulties with friends/at school, etc.), and that she might feel like she has to constantly censor herself.

Since she had already left by the time I was able to really put all this into some kind of coherent thought, I couldn't bring it up with her at the time, and then I thought maybe I was overthinking it anyway and should just let it go. But, then I thought for some nannies it might end up feeling like a big mismatch in terms of values and approach to child-rearing, and we of course want a nanny who feels like she is a good fit for our family on her end as well.

So, I emailed the agency, and I'm hoping they'll bring up the issue with her and give her some time to think about it. [/quote]
