[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would recommend looking at neighborhood list serve listing for families advertising on behalf of their beloved departing nannies - we found our best candidates that way.  You may also want to try implementing a one month trial period with a new nanny?  We have an amazing nanny now but have also briefly had two terrible nannies - for both it was clear to us almost immediately that there was a bad fit.  A one-month trial may give both you and the nanny the opportunity to determine whether the fit is right.[/quote]

Also, do you pay on the books?  Run a background check?  Issues like driver's license and eligibility to work in the US should be sorted out up front through the background check and I-9/tax paperwork.  Those are threshold issues you should clarify before any new nanny starts.[/quote]

Agree with all of this and to take a look at your compensation package. A trial period is strongly recommended and if you haven't done background, immigration, and driving checks before offering someone the job, you aren't doing your due diligence. No one should get past a preliminary interview without you ensuring everything is in order. Also look at your compensation package as it doesn't sound like it's attracting the candidates you want to hire.[/quote]
