all the answers you need to solve the
child-rearing dilemmas that keep you up
past bedtime
Oh, to have had
[this book] when I hired my nanny! I was
clueless, conflicted, paranoid....Do we
pay for Memorial Day? What do we do if
she's late? If her perfume bothers
us?
Now, all of our
questions are answered in this wise,
sensitive, addictively readable guide
that promises to do for families with
nannies, babysitters, and au pairs what
WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU'RE EXPECTING did
for pregnant couples....In chapters from
"Setting the Salary" to
"Living with a Live In," the
authors intersperse questions and
answers-culled partly from interviews
with caregivers, employers, and a myriad
of insurance, immigration, legal, and
other experts nationwide-with helpful
anecdotes from parents and complaints and
opinions from nannies (the mother
overschedules the kid, there's never food
in the fridge)....Working parents will
want to make room on the Baby Bibles
shelf. Right between the Leach and the

Description
Hiring a nanny--and
getting along with her afterward--may be
one of the most important things that
parents do, yet many of us approach the
whole business with fear and trembling,
or at least a lot of questions. Even
parents who may manage dozens of
employees at work can be at a loss when
it comes to dealing with the person who
will be looking after their children.
Nanny, au pair,
babysitter, caregiver--no matter the
term, the thorny issues remain the same:
-How do you find
someone you like and trust?
-Should you invite
the nanny to Thanksgiving dinner?
-When should you
raise her fee--and by how much?
-What should you do
when the au pair is a flirt?
-How do you sort
out the laundry and other chores?
-Nanny
surveillance--should you spy?
The
Nanny Book provides real, down-to-earth
solutions for almost every conceivable
issue or problem. Filled with advice
gleaned through interviews with families
and nannies, this book will turn parents
into their own experts. Other books focus
almost exclusively on hiring a caregiver.
The Nanny Book is the only guide that
gives smart, parent-tested solutions to
those sticky situations that can make or
break the relationship...Read More
