(this one is good because someone might say "very rarely, only once a month or so" and in your opinion that might be way too much) </p> <p>What types of activities did she do with the kids? </p> <p>What were her job responsibilities? (I like this because once a nanny I interviewed had majorly hyped up her previous job and it turned out it was a very simple job, plus you can get an idea of what types of things she might be open to doing for your family.)</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-for-references-for-nannies#post-298862 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 17:16:55 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 298862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Add to the list: What are their strengths and weaknesses.
