The first nanny came in for her interview, and she is stunned with how advanced and developed Klara is. She even asked me if I was sure she is only going to be 4 months old this weekend. And I know she isn’t just saying it to flatter me. N and I constantly remark that Klara looks like somebody who is ready to get up, walk to the door and say, “Dad, can I have $40 and the car keys?” She has a very alert and intelligent look.
What’s really throwing me for a big, plump loop, though, is that Klara seems to adore this nanny. She smiles and laughs at her like she’s her long-lost relative. And I like this nanny, too. This is very disconcerting because I was prepared for a long and painful search. I have two more nannies coming in this week and the next. Can it be possible that the very first one is the best one?

Maybe her name is Mary Poppins. I’m curious as to your job description. Is she to be a nanny or a nanny/housekeeper/cook like many people expect? Have you considered the J-1 visa program?

I don’t want her to cook, God forbid, because cooking is my thing plus there is nobody in this region who cooks better than I do and that’s a given. But if she does the dishes and vacuums, she will be highly appreciated by N.
All I really need is for her to sit with the baby while I work on my research in the next room. Like right now. But I’d not be able to tolerate somebody who’d actually need to be live-in.

Of course it is possible. If you are so inclined, you may ask your husband to calculate the probability. I assure you it will be quite reasonable. 🙂

GOOD idea. He’ll have fun doing that.

So, why did you even bother interviewing #2?

I made appointments with 3 people before seeing any of them. Wanted to give a chance to all 3 candidates. Nanny #3 comes next week.
