Did you start giving them a run down of what you expected them to do already? Or did you just let them kind of do their thing and watch the interaction with your LO?</p> <p>Our original nanny cancelled on us a week ago, and I go back to work in 2 weeks, so time is ticking and I'm starting to stress a little =( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-trial-days#post-227177 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 18:51:37 +0000 Mrs. Bee 227177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we did two nanny trials, one day each. but honestly you can't tell that much from one day. i would say it took our nanny a good month to get into a good groove!</p> <p>i would rely on lots of references, your gut instinct, and how she interacts with your lo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-trial-days#post-227154 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 18:45:19 +0000 mamajaja 227154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For those of you who have been through the nanny hiring process:</p> <p>1) How long did you do the trial for?<br /> 2) What did you do or have the nanny do during the trial?</p> <p>Thank you! </p>
