Hi.I am just about to employ our first nanny.From a few of them , I chose 2 nannies to come for a trial day.
My question is :what should I expect from the nanny?Is it going to be like a day at work or just getting to know the house and the girls?Should I pay the nanny for the trial day?
The nannies are really different,one off them is more mature with years of experience but no qualification and the other one is young and has just 4 years experience, still studying for a childcare qualification but seems really focused and mature.My 2 year old DD like's the younger one, probably because she interacted more with her during the interview.

Glad you have found your nanny, being sick half way thru a few hours trail sounds suss to me personally.

Maybe the cat was reacting to her hand cream? MIL's goes nuts if we use a mint and rosemary hand soap
