I hired “the best” nanny recommended by a good friend. And she took my children shoplifting. My suggestions: check multiple references, make a contract that clearly states responsibilities and vacation days and pay structure, pay on the books, drop in often and at different times, trust your instincts.

I did and she is a dream. Over-ask (be very specific about what you are looking for) in your initial post - you will get hundreds of responses. If you are planning to be on the books, make sure to put that up front. I did a background check and spoke to four references. Google the references to make sure they are real (not just friends of the person). We also did a two week trial period while I was home. I would come and go during the day during the trial period. I also had family members drop in unexpectedly to see how they felt about her. We did do a nanny cam, but we told her about it. [ Reply | More
