[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Equating the bad experiences on this board with nannies all over the country (or world) is akin to equating the daycare horrors with the same. [/quote]

I think this has to be true.

OP, I'm an MB.  If I'd read these messages before I hired my nanny I'd be terrified also.  But I went in happily oblivious to this level of discontent and I had a great experience.  I had really strong applicants, competitive rates, and good options to choose from.  The nanny we hired is going into her third year with us and she has been fantastic.

It is a hard thing to do well - it's a very personal relationship, and fraught with opportunities for hurt feelings, misunderstandings, mistakes (FTM - oy, the guilt and second guessing), etc...  But in my experience all the nannies I interviewed, and the ones I've met in the couple of years since (nannies of friends, in the neighborhood, etc...) have been responsible caring people.

Learn as much as you can before you start interviewing, use all available networks (this, care.com, agencies if you like, parenting groups, any social groups, listservs, church or other similar networks, etc...) and trust your instincts.  It will be ok!!![/quote]
