[quote=Anonymous]I would start by eliminating people who don't articulate themselves in writing. It may not be fair, but you have to start somewhere. As a nanny, I am leery of parents with poor grammar and spelling. It shows a lack of caring and attention to detail which are not great qualities in a working relationship. Once you get to know each other then it's fine to do short hand, especially in text, but in the beginning, you should be making an effort.

The next criteria would be zip code. How far does she need to commute? Then look at availability...is she looking for a job, any job, or is she looking to fill a specific hole in her schedule? Someone who is looking for anything could potentially leave if she finds a FT job.

What experience does she list on her profile? Does it fit your needs, both current and future? Does her description of her parenting style mesh with yours? Email a few that you think might work and ask additional questions, then do a phone interview, then in person interview from there.

Hope this helps.[/quote]
