Part of the interview is probably meeting the kids to see if you get along. 
...and if she had a sitter to rely on at 7am....? [/quote]

Then this is a situation where the interview should be in the home. If you want to actually see me engage with your children, it's not going to happen at Starbucks. I get that nanny candidates are "strangers off of the Internet" but can't you get a pretty good feel for a person talking on the phone and checking their background?[/quote]

I totally agree. If I am meeting just a parent, then I will do it elsewhere, but meeting the kids during the first interview I have to do it at their home. Gives me a chance to see where we will be, what my commute to/from their home will be like (if it's a pain to get to the interview, then I can tell it won't work out for everyday work). I let people know that I have an interview and give all the contact info I have for the person (their name, address, cell number and email) and let me friends or roommate know that if they don't hear back from me soon after x time (when the interview should be done), that there might be something wrong. I also have good instincts and if I think something is fishy, then I will leave. I usually google the person to see what type of job they might have or things they are involved in. I have basic self defense skills, I will use them. So I have no problem meeting with someone that I have talked with a bit beforehand already at their home.[/quote]
