[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For that time frame I'd start looking about two months out.  There will be lots of nannies whose positions are ending as kids will be entering school.  So you're likely to have a great pool of candidates.

Congrats![/quote]
This is awful advice. Why not start looking right now? Good nannies are very hard to find.[/quote]

Most nannies do not know months in advance that they will be out of work.  Unless you are going to pay her for months before her start date, you run the risk of her accepting and then taking another job that starts sooner.[/quote]
Don't be so ridiculous. The very nannies who you referred to, would in fact know months in advance that they'll be available when their charge starts school.

More time is always better than less time, when you're forced to settle for what you get.[/quote]

Unless the family hasn't yet decided whether to keep the nanny one more year.  And again, you run the risk of hiring a nanny in April for a job that starts in August and having her circumstance change (family decides to keep her on, she gets an offer with more money, etc.).  Start looking at the beginning of May.  Before then, just put feelers out via friends and family.[/quote]
