[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I run a local nanny agency and there are SO many wonderful, hardworking, loving nannies available right now.

My advice is to give people interviews even if you are not sold based on their resume or such. I have so many clients that end up clicking with a candidate they didn't necessarily expect to.

I only move forward representing about 40% of the nannies I interview/background check/reference call, but I really love the part of my job where a nanny just looks "OK" on paper, but ends up being such a gem during the interview and I can help them find a family as equally as great as them.

Sorry you've been having a rough go replacing your nanny.[/quote]

I second this. My best nanny was a 50 year old with no nanny experience, no references listed. She was working a job that became too physically demanding. Her care dot com post had bare bones info, she didn't sell herself well on that page. English was not her first language and she only had a high school degree. But she had two kids, the youngest a 7 year old, so she had recent childcaring experience. She had a clean driving record and had acquired citizenship. I had interviewed almost 15 people by then. Her interview went great, and she's been a gem for years.

Yes! We had the same experience- the one I chose didn’t have the experience of the others but she was perfect for us. Good luck, OP[/quote]
