Well the kids do actually. I hate the nanny hunt and am so glad it's come to a close. I am also about current one leaving. But, at the same time, I am looking forward to getting to know the new one.

Now... Who wants to remind me what I should put in my house rules? The contract is written and agreed. Just need to put together house rules, welcome pack, local area info (like transport schedules, where the school is, etc.)

Oh, and nannies out there, can you give me some ideas for a welcome gift? Nothing terribly expensive say £50 or so. I was thinking nice flowers or maybe a voucher for a treatment at the spa/gym we go to (where she will also have a membership). Or, there is a fab Indian restaurant near us, so maybe a voucher there would be good (dinner for two would cost about £50).

How about holding onto the gift til she's been with you a month. It'll be a lovely surprise for her.
If you give it to her on arrival, she may think she's onto a cushy number and not try as hard! Just my opinion!
