[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look at all the agencies locally, not just whn.  Ask them to put your profile together and then tell you how many nannies they have ready to interview immediately.  Make sure it’s only nannies who will accept your rate and fit your criteria on paper.  If less than 8, skip the agency.[/quote]

If you choose this route, be prepared to pay a "registration fee" of $250+ for each agency that does this for you. No reputable agency is going to do all that work for free. [/quote]
All what work?[/quote]

The work of interviewing a family, determining their needs, composing their profile, figuring out how many of their current job seeking nannies are actually a match for the family, and then meeting with the family again to present candidates. [/quote]

Basics are Ames 30 minutes or less.
1. Years of experience?
2. Ages of charges?
3. Number of charges?
4. Set vs flexible schedule?  If set, is it 10+ hour days?
5. Live-in?
6. Driver?
7. Pets?

It takes less than 30 minutes to go through that list and then have the agency rep tell the family whether they have 0, 1-4, 5-9 or 10+ nannies who fit the basic criteria.  Any reputable agency should be able to provide those numbers quickly.  If they can’t, they don’t know their nannies.[/quote]
