Recommendations for nanny placement services

[Anonymous]

I am feeling overwhelmed with the nanny search process and am considering using a placement service. Yes, I'm aware that it is expensive and am willing to deal with that extra cost to find a well qualified nanny for my twins.

Any thoughts, pro or con? I have looked at Metropolitan Nannies, College Nannies and Tutors, and Nanny Poppinz.

Thanks!

OP - try MetroParent Relief. They seem to have a disproportionately large number of their available nannies in NoVa.

also - try your neighborhood listservs. That's where we had the best success - through word of mouth referrals in the neighborhood.

We are in NoVa (McLean) and used Metro Parent Relief to find our nanny and she's great!
