[quote=Anonymous]Just curious, what made you like her so much and then also feel that the other nannies were not a good fit?

Could you possibly be over looking that the others might be good as well, just not AS GOOD as the nanny not responding? I have had some parents tell me in the past that they let one candidate cloud their judgment by wanting her so much, that anyone else paled in comparison. After doing more searching, they realized that one of the other candidates that they thought wasn't a good fit initially, actually would have been the best second choice but lost out on her by turning her down.

I would go over what you liked and disliked about both other candidates and make sure they truly are not a good fit for your family, maybe send a quick short email to the other nanny letting her know you will keep looking if she is not interested. If you don't hear back within a day, then I would say she is not interested and not just waiting to see what any other offers she might get.

Just remember, while it is exhausting to keep the search going, you don't want to give in and pick someone that would not be a good fit for your needs. It's also exhausting for the nannies interviewing, but during my recent search I am glad that it didn't work out with a couple families that I thought might be great, as I found 2 other PERFECT families that had schedules that could work with my current one, giving me the most hours and pay. I am very happy with the ones that I chose and while it took longer, it will be much better in the long-term.[/quote]
