[quote=Anonymous]Hi all,

I would appreciate your advice on how far in advance we should start looking for a nanny for our ~12 week old child. We expect to live in NW DC.

A little background[/u]
My wife and I are expecting our first child in a few weeks. We currently live in Ohio. We are moving to DC around August 1 so that I can start a new job in mid-August in the Van Ness area. My wife is currently looking for a new position in DC and she expects that she'll try to return to work around mid-August too.

We will probably make a trip to DC in late June or early July to apartment hunt. Should I try to find potential nanny's to meet with then? Can we wait until August 1 to find someone? I just have no idea how large the pool of potential nannies are, how quickly good nannies get snapped up, etc. In fact, I know basically nothing about caring for a child or hiring someone else to care for my child. Any advice you can give would be very, very welcome. Even just advice on how to rephrase my question, or what additional facts to provide, so that I can get better answers would be well-received.

Thanks so much!
