Years of experience and a polished résumé tell you less than you'd think. These are the qualities that actually predict whether someone will care for your child well.
Most of them won't show up in an interview. Warmth and judgment are visible in how a candidate talks about a child they've loved, in well-asked reference questions, and above all in a paid trial day with your child.
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 Care Map assessment starts with your child, then defines the person — before you meet anyone.
Screening call, reference questions, clinical interview, trial-day checklist.
