If your nanny shares the same beliefs about discipline as you do, it is a good indicator that the nanny’s skill, experience, and competencies will match your needs - and the needs of your child. The following questions are related to discipline and good ones to consider asking a prospective nanny:
Tell me about a time you had to discipline a child. What happened and what corrective action did you take?
Tell me about a time a child in your care had a temper tantrum. What happened and how did you handle it?
Tell me about a time when a child did not follow your instructions. How did you handle it?
Tell me about a time when you had a problem in the past following a parent’s directives regarding discipline? Why didn’t you agree with it?
