Agree...keep your intervention to a minimum. Show her around the neighborhood and your house, explain where things are and ask if there's any food you should keep around (like bread for toast, tea, etc.).

Allow her to have time alone with the baby while you're there. Don't step in if baby starts fussing or crying.

If there's a schedule write it out.

Our nanny will soon be starting, caring for our 2.5 month old. She will be overlapping with me at home a few days before I go back to work. Any tips for a smooth transition?
