[quote=Anonymous]I need to hire a part-time nanny within the next 3-4 months. This isn’t our first rodeo - we’ve hired two nannies previously. Our last nanny was with us full-time for several years. She had glowing references, but she was mostly just ok. She was very warm with my kids, which went a long way, but she was lacking in a lot of other ways that ended up making things very difficult. I’ve also spent some time since then as a SAHM and have observed a lot of nannies out in the world, and I have a better appreciation for how rare the really really good ones are. I’ve done the nanny search a few ways - agency (Coast to Coast Nannies, which I wasn’t super impressed by), word of mouth from neighbors and acquaintances , and neighborhood listservs. It’s always felt super opaque and difficult to vet candidates no matter how you find them. So… if you have a super nanny (however you define that), how did you find them? What was your hiring process like? [/quote]
