[quote=Anonymous]I have always had my best luck w/ referrals from other parents. So put something on your neighborhood listserv and if you know people in nearby areas ask them to post something on your behalf to their listserv. You can certainly use agencies, and try posting on DCUM, sittercity, care.com, etc... but they are all less personal than a neighbor referral. In the end, speaking with other mothers, especially ones trying to help a long term nanny find their next position, was always the best way to go. I didn't start my search until after I'd had my kids also so ignore the nastiness of 9:47. There is a lot of nastiness here on DCUM but you can get some really solid advice also. I've only hired a permanent nanny twice, and both times I started the search 6-8 weeks before I needed someone to start. That was plenty of time. Good luck and congrats on the baby! [/quote]
