[quote=Anonymous]Hey OP, I'm a new "MB" here in the process of hiring our first nanny. I find the process intimidating as well and can't answer all your questions, but here are a couple of thoughts and some moral support too. It looks like you got some good advice on most things (I can't speak to the dog, since we don't have one). On the 7 month time period, I think a retention bonus is a good idea, but I do think you will find someone who fits your bill in any event. A pregnant nanny, or one with a baby who might like to bring the baby along, or one new to the area and trying to learn her way around, or thinking of relocating soon, or just someone who would be happy to work and get another good reference on her resume. My neighbor has a very part time nanny, sometime like 3 days a week with pretty short hours, and found a taker for that who has been with them for a while now. There are people with all sorts of schedules and needs and someone out there will fit your bill. Good luck! For background checks, someone gave me this link: https://www.enannysource.com/Nanny-Background-Check.aspx Haven't used it yet.[/quote]
