NANNIES & PARENTS ALIGNING ON DISCIPLINE

It's essential to find a nanny who uses similar discipline strategies to provide consistency for your child. Here are some pointers to bear in mind.

If your nanny shares the same beliefs about discipline as you do, it is a good indicator that the nanny’s skill, experience, and competencies will match your needs - and the needs of your child. The following questions are related to discipline and good ones to consider asking a prospective nanny:

Tell me about a time you had to discipline a child. What happened and what corrective action did you take?

Tell me about a time a child in your care had a temper tantrum. What happened and how did you handle it?

Tell me about a time when a child did not follow your instructions. How did you handle it?

Tell me about a time when you had a problem in the past following a parent’s directives regarding discipline? Why didn’t you agree with it?
