\"\"<\/a>Director Vance returned back to NCIS after losing his wife and although he\u2019s still grieving his great loss, he seems ready be back full force at work, but realized he needs some help on the home front to do so.<\/p>\n

But after interviewing nanny after nanny, it became clear that Director Vance was sabotaging his nanny search, his feeling of grief holding him back from hiring a nanny.\u00a0 With a little insight from Ziva, though, he seemed willing and ready to recognize the right nanny.<\/p>\n

As he continues his search, what should Director Vance look for in a nanny?<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A nanny who isn\u2019t looking to replace his wife and his children\u2019s mother. It is clear that Director Vance wants to keep things strictly professional when it comes to hiring a nanny.\u00a0 The ideal nanny will be task oriented and focusing on meeting the children\u2019s needs.<\/li>\n
  2. A nanny who has experience with older children. Director Vance\u2019s children are slightly older. They need a caregiver who can help with homework, transport them to activities and prepare meals that they\u2019ll eagerly eat. Director Vance is a stickler about homework, so the nanny must be able to ensure it gets done.<\/li>\n
  3. A nanny with a spotless background.\u00a0 Given Director Vance\u2019s position, it should be no surprise that the nanny must be practically perfect in every way. There can be no hint of a questionable past and the nanny must be able to past a rigorous background check.<\/li>\n
  4. A nanny who is an experienced driver. Director Vance\u2019s children need to be taken to school and picked up after, at minimum. His nanny must be able comfortably and confidently transport the children.<\/li>\n
  5. A nanny who can keep a low profile.\u00a0 A nanny who seeks constant attention and stands out from the crowd won\u2019t fit in with Director Vance\u2019s family. His nanny needs to blend in and not attract unnecessary attention.<\/li>\n
  6. A nanny who can keep the family\u2019s confidence. Director Vance\u2019s family needs a nanny who can keep their family\u2019s information private. His nanny may be privy to sensitive she needs to keep that information to herself.<\/li>\n
  7. A nanny who is flexible. With a demanding job, Director Vance\u2019s nanny will have to be willing to work long hours and stay late without much notice when duty calls. Working late nights may be the norm.<\/li>\n
  8. A nanny who is comfortable working for a single father. A nanny who is comfortable working for a single father will be imperative in this role. In addition, the nanny must be comfortable with Director Vance\u2019s direct communication style.<\/li>\n
  9. A nanny who can provide stability. With the death of their mother, the Vance children are going to need a nanny who can provide stability to the family. A nanny who can make at least a one year commitment will be essential.<\/li>\n
  10. A nanny who can offer protection. Given Director Vance\u2019s position, his nanny is going to have to be aware of her surrounds and may even have to know how to deal with threats against the children. A street savvy nanny with some background in protective services may be the ideal choice for the Vance family.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In addition to being a qualified caregiver who can meet the children\u2019s physical, social, emotional, intellectual needs, the nanny must be a good fit for the family. Hiring a solid role model who is willing to invest the time and energy required to be a nurturing companion to the children will be an excellent choice for the Vance family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
