Best place to find Nannies/Housekeepers/cooks

[Anonymous]

Good afternoon wonderful DC Parents,

I wanted to inquire where does everyone find their nannies/housekeepers/cooks. I am currently looking for a nanny who can help with light housekeeping and a full-time housekeeper/cook. I tried au pair sites but the process drags out for months and unfortunately, I need someone as soon as possible. Any recommendations will be wonderful.

We got our nanny/housekeeper/cook through word of mouth. It is the relative of someone we know.

The Nanny forums on this site (DCUMaD) seem to have a lot of great candidates.
