[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh. I'm a mom. This is why I stay awake at night, anxious about going back to work.[/quote] Nanny here. When I hire backup nannies I always ask them to actually describe what they would do in the event of a hypothetical emergency. Same principal goes for someone with a lot of child care experience. She should be able to give detailed answers to hypotheticals around discipline scenarios, scheduling, age-appropriate milestones, etc. I can give you examples of how I would handle pretty much anything with no hesitation because I know my shit. Yes, talk to the families, google her, etc., but remember that you aren't looking for a checklist of credentials and a bubbly personality, you are looking for a tangible skillset, so asking detailed questions and follow-up questions should be plenty to clarify everything you need to know.[/quote] Excellent response.
