All three of the Nannies have a very important deal-breaker which could seriously become a huge issue for your family if hired.

#1): Caring for a three-month old infant requires a bit of experience since one must know all about feedings, diapering, erratic sleep patterns & calming techniques.
It takes a special kind of patience to care for a young baby and caring for one alongside two other young children can be quite challenging whether one has experience or not.

#2): If this Nanny were so "Professional," I find it clearly odd that you cannot get ahold of any of her former employers.
It also is a huge red flag to me as well.
DO NOT HIRE HER w/out speaking to her former families first!!
It is very important to speak w/her previous families in order to get a first-hand personal account of how she fares around young children.

#3): You would be taking a significant risk if you hired this person.
Your children will become very attached to this woman + it may be tough for them if she ends up finding a full-time position and leaving them.
Plus you will always have some anxiety about whether or not she will be looking for another position behind your back. :(

If you have the time, I strongly encourage you to keep looking until you find a much better fit for your needs.

If that is not an option however, my choice would be candidate #1.

Good Luck![/quote]
