I have an interview with a potential part time nanny and I'm not sure what to ask. I will obviously ask her experience and that sort of thing but I'm not too sure what else to ask. I'm not too worried about my kids safety or anything because they are not going to be left alone with her as I work in the home. I'm just having her in part time while I'm home to help out so I can catch up on my work.

Ask for references, if she's had any childcare classes, what her previous work experience is like, does she have any kids/siblings of her own, and is she CPR/first aid certified, and can she pass a background check? Not necessarily that you want all those things, but can she provide them.

If you're going to be home while she's there, then there really isn't much that you need to ask her. You're going to be there if something comes up that needs attention, so just make sure that she has the same philosophy as you. If you think spanking is horrible, make sure she does too. If you think healthy snacks are the way to go, make sure she does too. And CHECK her references. Make sure that she was good with other people that she worked for.

There is no one single Paleo Diet, as our ancestors from all over the world ate dramatically different diets depending on the climate where they lived, their landscape, accessibility to water bodies, and the latitude that they lived. This is a detailed meal plan for the paleo diet https://tr.im/vWucA
In some cases, a Paleo Diet may be 90% plant foods and 10% animal foods, and in other cases, a Paleo Diet may be 90% animal foods and 10% plant foods.
For example, our ancestors that lived near the equator had year long access to more plant materials such as root vegetables and various fruits, veggies, and nuts.
On the other hand, our ancestors that lived at higher latitudes further away from the equator only had access to fruits and vegetables seasonally at one specific time period per year, and had larger periods of the year where they ate a higher % of meats, organ meats, fish, and other animal-based foods, or fermented foods that could be stored for winter.

Ask her what her philosophy is on discipline and basic child-rearing principles. It should match your own somewhat.
A good thing to do is a working interview -- have her interact with your children and observe how she is with them. Does she truly enjoy being with them? Do the children like her? I think this is the best way to get a good feel of how she will be on the job.

MAKE sure to contact ALL references, and get a police/criminal background check on her. You HAVE to be concerned about your children's safety - whether you are there or not.

tell her what your rules are and stick to them..give her a list of things that are allowed and not allowed, her duties. household chores, help with homework, activities you want her to do with children, any meals prepared,
i understand the correct assignments involving the nanny's duties are mainly involving the children, like cleaning their rooms, laundry etc...
meals, homework, activities, etc......
