if your give clear instructions and show them how you like things done, allow the nanny to work with the youngest children they are best with babies. We take the nannys out with us on occasions to assist with child care also, they usally demonstrate great initative and tend to matters, such as nappy change, feeding , cleaning etc before you even get a chance to notice things.The usually do not leave the child side and are in less than a meters distance if the child is exploring, with babies they carry them in slings all day and will not put them down. they will tidy after kids and will tidy the kids belongings. they are generally very firm with children , if you leave them for short preriods to begin with and as your confidence grows with the nanny leave them for longer periods. they bath and put children to bed tehy read them stories they paly with toys and in teh pool. they take them for short walks also, they generally are very sun and pool cautious also. just watch for them kissing kids on the muouth they can be overly affectionate :).They will also go out and get food for them and also nappies etc. if htey have their own motor bike
