Most nanny placements don’t end over one big problem. They end over small, unspoken differences that slowly build up. This workbook gets those expectations out of everyone’s head and onto paper, before they turn into frustration.
The Family & Nanny Partnership Workbook gives parents and their nanny or family assistant a shared, written record of expectations from day one. It also gives you a simple, scheduled way to keep talking as the relationship grows. Feedback becomes routine, not a crisis.
★ HOW IT WORKS ★
Before the start date, the family and the nanny each fill in the Expectations Worksheet in their own column.
At a 60–90 minute planning meeting, you compare answers, talk through the differences, and write down what you agree on.
You schedule five check-ins for the first 90 days, and the workbook has a form ready for each one.
After day 90, weekly and quarterly reviews keep things on track.
