Nanny-Part VIII

I interviewed another nanny yesterday. An agent brought her to our house. She came with her husband and we really liked her. Let's call her Tante L. She was an Indo lady from Surabaya, 54 years old, and been here for 7 years. Had 3 grown-up kids in Indo and could speak English since she had worked for Americans. She also had extensive experience as a nanny and was with the families for a long period of time. Everything sounded great so we hired her and she started yesterday.

Even on the first night (which she hasn't officially "started" yet), she already helped me washed the pile of dishes and practically cleaned the kitchen. Kayleen also immediately taken to her because she made an effort to play and talk to her. Wes wasn't here with us since he was with my parents at their new house so I couldn't really judge how well she was with him.

We felt comfortable with her and so far, so good.... We are "cautiously" happy (for now).
