[quote=Anonymous]Stacy,
  
   I too have experienced the woes of finding a good nanny. It is so time consuming, I was spending less time working my job than searching all over the web for a decent qualified nanny. That is why I decided to look into agencies around D.C. I worked with Georgetown Nannies and White House Nannies, but was frankly disappointed. I was sent (sometimes without notice!) nannies who did not meet my needs both education and salary wise. I felt like I was working with a Realtor scamming me with overpriced homes too far away from my ideal location! Sounds silly, but that is exactly how I felt.

I decided to look around and talk to some of my friends who had "baby nurses" and then got nannies later on. One name that I heard quite a few times was DC Nannymatch. It was started by an exclusive baby nurse who does really good sleep training. Her big thing is personalization, which appealed to me. I got her number from a friend (I am not sure if she has a website for her nanny agency service) and called her up. She spoke with me on the phone and via e-mail. Then she came to my home and asked me questions no one had ever bothered to ask. I didn't have to pay her until she explained her goals and after the Q & A session. She was delightful and found three amazing nanny hopefuls that she had screened ahead of time. We interviewed them all in one night and picked our (now current) nanny from the three. I know her rates are going up because she is getting more families wanting her services, but I paid 300$ (150 and 150) for the entire process and she even has a guarantee if the nanny doesn't work out. We are going on four weeks with our nanny she found us, and we love her.

I don't think she will mind so I will give you her e-mail address. She is really helpful and doesn't feel like the other main stream agencies. luciana@dcnannymatch.com is her contact.

Best of luck and don't forget, you are not alone on the journey to find a good nanny!
