[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cooking (beyond the kid basics) and cleaning (beyond just picking up after the kids) typically aren't nanny duties anyway.   [/quote]

+1. You have to put your children’s welfare first.  [/quote]

This is OP and I totally agree, and safety and being warm/nurturing are my top two priorities for our new nanny. However, my previous nanny went well above and beyond (without us asking) and always did all of our laundry, was immaculate at cleaning up while the younger ones are sleeping, would stop by the grocery store to grab things when we ran out without having to be asked, etc. So I know these people exist... just not sure I will find one in the time range I have to look.[/quote]

It sounds like your previous nanny was a gem.   I think you majorly lucked out and lightning does strike the same place twice.   But if you think you can do better, go ahead and hold out for another perfect nanny.   What happens if you haven't found this unicorn by the time your current nanny leaves?   Can you/your partner afford to take time off work to watch your own kids?   Or do you have a family member that is able and willing to drop everything and be your interim childcare?[/quote]
