How do I know if I've made the right decision?

The recurring theme when discussing almost every issue concerning you and your nanny seems to be when you hire a nanny to care for your child trust your gut instinct. If you have checked her references thoroughly, done a comprehensive background check, had her over to do a trial- run baby-sit, and generally feel you both "click" then it's probably safe to say that you have made the right decision. Relax a little. Do some spot-checking the first week or two and keep those lines of communication open at all time. Get feedback, hear about her day, and show appreciation for a job well done.If, on the other hand, your gut is telling you something else, talk to your new nanny about your feelings. If things do not change in a short period of time, begin looking for a new nanny. Back to Top
