mandarin speaking nanny

I am looking for a Mandarin speaking nanny. Does anyone know where is a good place to start looking. I don't care if their English is good, as long as she/he is a native speaker.

Good luck. When my twins (now 7) were born, we tried for 6 months from before birth to birth to try and find a Mandarin speaking nanny. Advertised on several sites including care.com and could not find a nanny who spoke Mandarin. We found one person who was a native Mandarin speaker who was someone's mother who came to live with them, but she was not legal to work in the US and we were not interested in an illegal nanny paying under the table.

I hope you have better luck now than we did back then.

Are you in DC? I know people who have had luck in NY, SF, and Vancouver, but not in DC where there is a much smaller Chinese population.
