You've found someone promising. Before you say yes, have the person who wrote the book on nanny hiring sit in on the interview — and tell you what she sees.
You schedule your candidate, and Tammy joins the interview by video — or leads it with you listening in. She asks the questions that reveal judgment, temperament, and fit, and listens for what candidates don't realize they're telling you.
Afterward, a private debrief: what stood out, what concerned her, what to verify with references, and what to watch for in a trial day.


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.
Most families interview once and decide on instinct. A clinician's read on the same conversation often changes the decision.

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.
