[quote=Anonymous]MB here.  If you take my nanny I have an issue with you.  If you hire the nanny from someone I don't know - good for you.  :-)

As a few folks have said, be gracious about it and say you're looking for a nanny and have admired her style and wonder if she knows anyone who might be looking.

Don't forget that you don't know eveyrthing about this nanny, and what matters to you, simply from observing her.

Maybe she's chronically late.  Maybe she refuses to do any laundry or dishes for the kid.  Maybe she won't like something about you/your family/your household.  Maybe she doesn't drive and that will become important for you.  Maybe she's terrible at communicating with the parents.  Maybe she's incredibly superior and always making the mother feel incompetent.

Or - maybe she really is the absolute dream nanny.  But you still have to go through a full, diligent interviewing and hiring process.  You need to see several candidates so you can fully evaluate your options and hopefully find the best fit for you.   So approach this nanny as one entry point for finding candidates - not as someone you're automatically trying to hire.

I agree that any nanny has a right to keep his/her options open and find a better position - just as any other professional in a market place has that right.  [/quote]
