[quote=Anonymous]OP, if you are willing to invest the time and energy I would suggest trying every available avenue. We hired a nanny from Care.com, who came with excellent references, who was a disaster--good with the kids, but highly unreliable and really left us in the lurch. After that experience, I looked high and low--we needed someone and I was willing to use an agency--but was really not impressed by what the agencies around here had to offer for what they charge. We checked our neighborhood listserv, Craigslist, called universities nearby, and ultimately, I found our current, amazing nanny right here on DCUM. All of that to say, I would not reject Craigslist out of hand. It does require more effort for nannies to post on Care.com; but some amazing nannies out there may not be especially tech-savvy and/or may go with what's easier, or where they have had luck finding employment in the past.[/quote]
