[quote=Anonymous]:) I'm sorry, OP. you have apparently never posted here before. this forum is part for answering questions but really mostly a chance for people to voice opinions. Best shot at that is a thread like this that gets "controversial".

To your question, I think questions about views on appropriate discipline, eating habits, outings are good. Also asking for specifics on HOW she works to incorporate learning through play. Also, if she is not from the US, I would ask her to read aloud in the interview. our nanny has been with us for years and she's worked out really great for us but it became apparently only over time that she does not read and that we are not in natural agreement on some topics. Now, I probably still would have hired her, but someone else may view it differently. I think it's important to think past the infant stage if you plan to keep them for more than a year or two.

"I really don't understand why, if you hired a nanny to care for your child, and complete agreed upon tasks such as the child's laundry and meal prep, never discussed her doing anything outside of that, how you can be miffed that she doesn't do it. If we agreed on tasks and a rate to go with it, why would you expect more than that? "

Because tons of moms hire a nanny as FTMs. They are exhausted and baby often is not sleeping tons/regularly. It's hard to anticipate just how much different the job will be over time as the baby grows. It is 100% reasonable to expect that the nanny help make herself helpful after taking a good hour-ish break to recharge. At my job if someone accmplished their work faster than expected but then proceeded to just sit around doing nothign they would be viewed as a bad employer and lazy, even if they were sharp at their work. A good employee includes having a good work ethic.[/quote]
