[quote=Anonymous]OP, please follow the recommendations below. The way you are asking questions might be so offputting that your Dream nanny will not even respond to you.

[quote=Anonymous]OP, just some advice - state what you're lookiing for, what your minimum requirements are, and possibly what your compensation range might be.  It will help you streamline the process and will be more clear.  You'll also look more decisive and professional.  For instance:

Seeking nanny with experience working with twins for live-in position.  40 hours per week guaranteed, competitive vacation package, private room/bath/living area, and vehicle provided for use during work hours.

You must be: legal to work in the US, have a clean driving record and feel comfortable driving a minivan, able to easily run after/lift/carry twin toddlers, non-smoking, fluent in english, able to provide excellent references, and fully trustworthy.

The ideal applicant will have significant experience with twins (infancy through preschool), prior experience as a live-in (w/ references for that position(s), will love the challenges of working with twins and at this age group, etc...

State all your requirements around the needs of the position (like the able to run and lift versus asking age).

I would really encourage you to get some more advice, perhaps speak with an agency or two (it will give you great insight as to how to think about the job you're filling when you hear how an agency gathers information), and put some time into reading sample contract language and best practices.  There is lots of info on the web if you do a search, and in forums like these.

You sound very well-intentioned but very, very green at this and you can screw up this hire pretty easily if you're not careful.   Some of the way you're phrasing your questions above is actually illegal so I really encourage you to do some research.

Good luck.[/quote][/quote]
