The LA Nanny Book

About the Book

“The LA Nanny Book is a wonderful and long-overdue guide for nannies seeking employment in Los Angeles or anywhere else. Larissa Neilson’s common-sense emphasis on the importance of respectfully and firmly setting boundaries with employers from the first interview is completely compatible with the respectful boundary-setting she so wisely uses with the babies in her charge. Ms. Neilson’s sound advice, based on years of experience as a nanny, offers the essentials on how to maintain a healthy working employer/employee relationship. This book is a must-read for those in the profession of child-care industry.”– Wendy Kronick, RIE facilitator.
