[quote=Anonymous]Personally, I don't think it's too early, but my situation might be somewhat unique: I'm originally from DC (my parents and many close friends still live there). I moved to Portland, OR a little over three years ago. I've been working with two nice families here for the full three years, but I'm starting to really miss DC, and would like to move back.

However, I don't want to make any big moves (like giving my families notice, giving my landlord notice, etc) until I've secured a good nanny job back in DC. I need at least two months lead time to get all my ducks in a row, and most nanny jobs I see posted start in less than two months (so by the time I go through the application, phone and Skype interview proces, if I am formally offered the job I would have less than two months to make all arrangements and pack everything up and drive back across the country).

I keep looking for full time nanny jobs in DC but keep seeing ones posted with less than two months lead time, which is making this process very frustrating for me.

The point is, it doesn't hurt to post the job 3-4 months in advance. Especially since you need care in February, you don't want to be doing your nanny search during the holidays (and with a newborn), right? [/quote]
