[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe I just need to be more willing to hire a new nanny if issues start popping up after a few months.  I just wish there was a way (or that I knew of a way) to know up front whether a nanny would actually do what she agrees to do initiallly.  Someone said "hire a professional."  Easier said than done since there really is no accrediting body for nannies.  I always check several references.  Maybe I just need to look for perfection, knowing that every if absolutely everything sounds perfect there will be something that falls through.

To the PP who asked if I require housekeeping as well, no.  I do not.  And I pay the nanny the hourly rate (plus overtime of course) that she asked for.  [/quote]

How long do you spend talking to references?  How long do you spend talking to nannies?  If you talk to nannies for less than an hour, you're not going to hear possible contradictions.  If you don't spend at least 30 minutes talking to references, you are only getting the basics, and you have no way of knowing whether it is in fact a reference.[/quote]
