[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We found our nanny her next position. I wanted to make sure she had a job. [b]I also think that recommendations from employers are better than nanny self promotion.[/b] I was able to give a very honest assessment of strengths and weaknesses, nobody is perfect, and it's been a great fit.[/quote]

Agree 100%. If the nanny was decent to you, and especially if she’s an immigrant, I think the least you can do is market her to your network. Not just one half-a**ed FB post, but make it compelling. Also tell your friends and colleagues that you know someone in case one of their colleagues or friends is looking, etc.

Nowadays so many people are desperate for a nanny. So if you’re not able to generate leads I have to imagine you are not trying very hard. I had to let a good (not great) nanny go due to a move but invested time into crafting a really compelling (but honest) blurb about her. Started off posting in only the neighborhood FB group and texting a couple of friends about her, but that itself generated several good leads. If I had gone so far as posting in Nanny Network of NoVA or similar, I imagine it would have resulted in a ton more.[/quote]
