[quote=Anonymous]I think your problem OP is the SOURCE.

Where are you finding these nannies from?
If from Craigslist, then I do not suggest it as pretty much anyone can post and respond to classified ads on this website since it is free for anyone who has Internet access which is pretty much anyone these days.

If from an Internet childcare website such as Care.com and/or Sittercity.com, then pretty much the same thing as well.
While the parents who utilize these websites must pay a membership fee, the nannies themselves do not have to thus anyone can post a profile/picture for free. They do have to pay for their own background checks, but these are inexpensive and truthfully are very unreliable.

My best advice is to go through a reputable local agency in your town/city.
Perhaps ask around or search Yelp.

You will most likely have to pay a fee, but they will do all the screening for you and it is up to them to provide you with a quality nanny and if they do not, they have to find a replacement for you who is worth your money.
I say it is money well invested.

I do not know anything about the Au Pair programs so I am not too sure about these programs.

I do know that they are foreign students who reside in your home and work many hours at less pay than a typical live -in nanny, but I do not know how much or how they obtain their childcare experience and credentials.

Hope this info helps.

Best of luck to you and your family. [/quote]
