You've never employed someone in your home, and suddenly you're hiring the person who'll care for your child. Here's what first-time families most need to know.


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.
Every step of the process has its own guide. Start with how to hire a nanny, step by step, then what to look for in a nanny.
A first hire is when a second opinion helps most — before small mistakes become two-year problems.
Screening call, reference questions, clinical interview, trial-day checklist.
