[quote=Anonymous]I have been narrowing my nanny search down and put alot of effort into weeding out particular childcare providers that I felt wouldn't be a good fit for my family. I found several canadites whom I really approved of and eventually narrowed it down to this one particular woman. She had the right answers, right attitude, personality, experience, early childhood education. Everything.

I know I'm going to sound like a judgemental, horrible person but please understand I have my reasons.

I had my first face-to-face interview with her today and the moment I opened my door I was shocked. This woman was much larger then her photos. In fact, I think her photos were taken years prior. She looked double her weight. Her photos made appeared to be somewhat athletic. I mean not 6 pack abs or anything, but healthy.

I went along with the interview even though I knew my mind was already made up.

I'm so upset with myself because I told the other potential nanny that I found other arrangements only because we already had an "online interview" and she was eager to start and continued to message me and I didn't want to lead her on.

Now what do I do? Has this happened to anyone else. Would it be inappropriate to contact the second potential nanny and tell her that my childcare arrangements didn't fall threw and see if she is still interested?
Please help.
