[quote=Anonymous]MB here and I agree w/ pps (though I don't know the boston market). I hired our nanny through neighbor referrals. I would have been open to a mother, especially one who had been a nanny before. But it takes more personal hiring to find that right fit than one would get with an agency. If I were hiring through an agency I would assume I'd be paying higher hourly rates, paying a commission to the agency, and hiring someone who was at a professional enough level to go through an agency and command those fees. In return I would be more demanding with my requirements. I think if you were in the pool of available nannies with a given agency you would have a hard time as the single, fully (seemingly) unencumbered candidates would have an edge. Try putting the word out on neighborhood listservs, through parent groups, religious organizations, care.com, etc... Good luck![/quote]
