[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would suggest before trying an agency why not try advertisting on craigslist...instead of psying a agency a fee. I would also recommend writing up your own contact for parents to sign before u start any work. ...[/quote] She doesn't have to worry about agency fees...parents pay those. Reputable nanny agencies do not charge nannies any fees. OP- you need to get the car situation straightened out before contacting agencies. You'll need to have a definitive answer for the agencies on whether or not you will have a car. I used to live in L.A. and know how crappy the public transportation is there...although many nannies and housekeepers do seem to get around just fine on it. I'm not sure what area you live in, but you're right about many families wanting the nanny to have a car to at least get to work. It's just easier to have a car when you live in L.A. because it opens up more options. I often worked for families whose houses would have difficult, but not impossible, to access by public transportation. The commute would have been very long and would have involved a fair amount of walking on hilly streets (which I generally did anyways during the course of a work week). Good luck.[/quote]
