Host Lina Forrestal had the unique opportunity to sit with new mom Sunni VonMutius AND her nanny Salem to discuss all the best practices in hiring a nanny. 

Sunni discusses her decision making in why she chose to hire a nanny. She shares how she and her partner were intentional about how they approached the process: from writing up an application, what to include on the application, and which website she used to find her nanny, Salem. 

Salem shares their perspective as a nanny. They share what makes things awkward, what to look for in a nanny, and what makes the job enjoyable. 

Also discussed in the episode: 

• Why you should have a contract
• Paying your nanny above the table versus under the table
