As new parents we are a little nervous about allowing someone we don't know too well to go driving and roaming around town with our baby.   We are okay with her going for walks around in the neighborhood. Let me emphasize, this nanny is not here all day - she is usually here only 4 or 5 hours.

Just share a parent's perspective on outings:   If a nanny does not seem interested in interacting with or teaching our baby when in our home, or argues with us when we ask her to do something and is instead does what she wants - surfing the web, online shopping, text,........ then why would I believe that she will do baby focused things on outings rather than do her own thing.... like go shopping, talking on the phone, etc.

My sister had a nanny that read to her daughter starting at 3 months (yes I know that early), but her daughter developed a love for books and continued to read them throughout childhood.  So that is why I asked our nanny to read the baby books.  I probably should point out too that these "books" are really picture books or ones with the crinkle pages or taggies, etc. [/quote]
