[quote=Anonymous]I have never done a trial or shadow day, and I'm not interested in doing either. I don't work with infants under 6 months, and any child over 6 months will act differently when the parent isn't there, so shadow days are useless, IMO. A single trial day is also useless IMO, so I do a trial period of 1 week, 2 weeks or 1 month, depending on the family. If the trial is for 1 month and I know after 5 days that this isn't a good fit, but it's not a horrid situation, I will notify the parents that it's not a great fit and I'm continuing my search, but I would be happy to stay for up to the end of the trial. That gives the parents a cushion to find other care, and I've had a set of parents who interviewed nannies during the day while I was there, and the candidates could come talk to me and meet the kids.[/quote]
