[quote=Anonymous]We used a nanny agency and looked for a nanny which has a history is staying with families for many years.

Some Nannies like infants/younger kids and won’t stay once they get older. Household management is a while different job and requires different skill sets. If your nanny hasn’t done it before they may find they don’t like it.

Our nanny was mid-50s when we met her, had a history of staying with families 5+ years, had done both all nanny positions and nanny-manager positions. She likes both and transitioned in nanny-house manager when our youngest started preschool. We hope she stays with us until kids are all in high school - 10 more years. At this point, her household management is what allows me to keep working.

We had a different nanny when my youngest was an infant and I quickly realized that she liked babies and young toddlers. She was wonderful with them, but as oldest DC turned 4, we knew we needed someone else - nanny enjoyed our younger kids much more than our oldest. When youngest turned 2 and oldest was 6, we started looking for a new nanny.
