In the last five years, demand has been so great that there is actually a nanny shortage. Parents are waiting in line for them. |
It's become sort of a mini day care. |
Parents get feelings about nannies and you need to trust that. They are very accurate. If you feel like something is not right, or you've got a bad feeling about what is going on in your home while you are away at work, you are probably right. Act on that immediately. |
Parents have become very aware of the safety issues, maybe through the negative (publicity) this industry has received. |
The concept of sharing nannies is the new thing. You get a few families, with similar-age children, who live close together and they get together to hire one nanny. |
