[quote=Anonymous]I'm a nanny who has found all my long term full time nanny positions on craigslist. I post ads, never response to any. My positions have all been agency quality. I'm actually signed with an agency but found better jobs then what they sent me for on my own. 
My experience with care.com and sittercity has been mediocre, I have a great detailed profile with five 5star reviews but still get the cheap rude families harassing me. I will never accept a full time position from that site. My personal website, business cards and flyers work better then those sites.

So my suggestion is to take the time and really review every candidate  no matter where you found them. Some agencies suck and online sites are not prefect. Just look for someone who took the time to present themselves professionally, create a portfolio, website and detailed resume. Pay for a Cori and driving check  plus ask open ended questions during your reference checks. It's a lot of work but doing it is going to get you the best results. FYI those background checks on care/sittercity are bullshit [/quote]
