What childcare related questions should I ask when I interview a prospective nanny?

As promised, here are some great childcare related questions that are important for parents who have young children.  When interviewing a nanny, it is important to get to know her childcare philosophy and make sure you both are on the same page.  
TLC nannies are also counseled with this information so that their integration into a family is smooth and successful!

 

            * Would you pick up my infant every time s/he cries?

            * Taking care of an infant can be isolating.  How would your deal with this aspect of       the job?

            * How would you typically put an infant down to sleep?

            * How do you soothe a crying baby who is not hungry or wet?

            * How often would you take my infant outside?

             * How do you potty train a toddler?

            * How do you react to temper tantrums?
