Every au pair candidate is warm and eager on video. What predicts a good year is what's underneath — and that takes knowing what to listen for.
Tammy joins your video interview with a candidate, or reviews your shortlist with you, and focuses on the things that decide how the year goes: real childcare experience, how they handle a crying child, how they cope with being far from home, and whether their expectations match your family's reality.


Tammy Gold, LCSW, spent years matching families with nannies before writing Secrets of the Nanny Whisperer (Penguin). Today she works beside families, and their agencies, as a neutral expert: defining the job, interviewing candidates, checking references and setting up the first 30 days.
A year in your home is worth an hour of expert evaluation up front.

Tammy provides expert guidance and evaluation to help your family decide. She is not a placement agency, does not employ or place caregivers, and does not run background checks — those should go through a licensed screening provider. All hiring decisions remain your family’s.
