[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The one thing I would want to know more about in your situation is how current is her infant safety knowledge? Does she know how to probably use a carseat? Does she put baby to bed on tummy or back? Those types of things. I've seen some older nannies who don't keep up with current knowledge and do some questionable things...like putting a 7 month old to bed wrapped up in a boppy pillow (so it's like a big ol' hug) and that type of thing, or just never ever leaving the house because it's too much work to get out the door.[/quote] Hmm... those sound like stupid and lazy nannies, not older nannies! All nannies should have extensive CPR training (the eight hour course) and be up to date on all newborn and infant care directives( takes two minutes to read but classes are also available at Red Cross). We had a young, healthy, vibrant college aged nanny who put the baby's onsie under the diaper -- so age is not a real factor in competence. [/quote]
