[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one searching through an agency wants a nanny who will bring her child. Agency fees are thousands of dollars, and parents who use agencies are looking for a nanny who is exactly right for their family.

Try again, but either don't mention your child (as in most job searches in most other industries), or present your childcare plan.

Rates in Boston are also some of the highest in the country. You'd probably have more luck finding a "mom-friendly" job through other means, especially if you give a break on your rates.[/quote]

+1  I'm in Boston. families willing to pay for an agency aren't the kind of families who want a nanny who has their own child tagging along. Look at mom groups like garden moms boston or jp moms and try to connect with families looking for a nanny share. No one is going to hire you with a baby for top nanny wages if your baby comes with. You will have to settle for a $12 rate or $15 if you get really lucky. If you dont plan on bringing your baby than make sure to have a clear childcare plan. [/quote]
