[quote=Anonymous]My wife and I recently interviewed three potential nannies.  Two are great and we feel either would work well.  They would be helping my wife (stay at home mom) during the daytime a few days a week.

However, my wife and I are torn between who to select.

#1: She is mid 20s with plenty of experience.  She lives within 10 minutes and seems very calm, kind and playful.  She's going to grad school at night so this would be a part-time daytime job for her.

#2: She is mid 35s with plenty of experience.  She also used to be an elementary school teacher.  At the moment she is sitting two other children/babies.  She is going back to school at night so this will be a part-time daytime job for her.

We love that #1 is playful and seems to really be easy going.  However she's younger than I would have preferred.  #2 seems very professional and used to be an elementary teacher so she has a lot of experience with children.  However, we don't like that she's sitting/nanny for so many other babies.  This is due to the higher risk of our baby getting ill.  #1 seems easy going and #2 seems more professional.  Not sure which one to move forward with.  Both allowed for a background check and they came back fine.[/quote]
