[quote=nannydebsays]I wish I could just tell you hire X over Y because this and that, but I can't. It truly comes down to who is a good "fit" and that's hard to dissect when I know nothing more than you posted.

That said, I think there are several considerations here:

Do you want a nanny who can also be a "parenting coach" as you transition from a couple to parents?

Do you want a nanny who is capable of self-management, or do you want to be more of a hands-on manager who calls all the shots?

Which nanny do you feel has a childcare philosophy that matches yours at this time?

Which nanny do you think will be more willing to flex her childcare practices to fit your preferences as they evolve?

Which nanny do you feel will stay as long as she is needed?

Which nanny can wait to start working for you after your baby is born/after your maternity leave ends? You are asking someone to wait 4 - 6+ months to start. who can survive that wait without seeking a job that starts sooner?

Who do you feel most comfortable with? Who can you picture in your mind welcoming you home with your baby in her arms in 8/12/18 months?

So whichever nanny best fits your answers to these questions may be the best nanny for your family. Best of luck![/quote]
