[quote=Anonymous]This time around, I really prioritized ability to problem-solve and work independently. I asked questions in the interview to find out how she would handle certain situations, and let her tell me what kinds of things she would do with the kids. Our first nanny was very bright, but not a career nanny, and was not interested in applying her brightness to childcare. Our next two longer-term nannies were very sweet, but wanted to run absolutely everything by me, even after being told to just use their best judgement. I love that our current nanny will figure out, on her own, what to do on a cold day, or find an activity all three children can do, or deal with a meltdown, etc., without needing help.[/quote]
