[quote=Anonymous]MB here and I'd also hire #1.

Major red flag w/ number two if you can get references to return calls.

Major concern with number three if your gut tells you she really wants full-time.  The best choice is a nanny who will be with you as long as you need her.  You don't want to be searching again.

You're an experienced parent so you can show the less experienced nanny the ropes, and you won't have to deal w/ a more experienced nanny who might recommend doing things differently than what you've been doing for years.  Also, babies just aren't hard (unless they have special needs.)  A gentle nurturing spirit is critical, but you can teach any specific skills as long as basic safety and common sense are there.

Finally, the candidate for whom the job you are offering is a great opportunity is one who will be happier in the job in the long run.  The "fit" has to be good on both sides - so I give an edge to someone who will be excited about the offer, not someone whom you feel will always be looking for something better.

And again - no references, no offer.  The lack of responsiveness would be informative to me.

So great that you have choices![/quote]
