A psychologist mom tells how to find, screen, train, and retain nurturing, responsive, bright and dedicated caregivers. Forms, checklists and scripts pepper her discussions of such topics as how to advertise and appeal to top candidates; tips for making in-home care affordable; interviewing and hiring; the child-care agreement and the job application materials; background and reference checks; measures to assure consistently excellent care; and time sheets, paychecks, and taxes.
