Agency just takes your money and they don't get the job done.. The agency we used never even did a background check on the nannies.

Other parents - specifically Moms, and especially mothers who work FT outside the home (like me). Their referrals are always head and shoulders above any candidates I find elsewhere.

Use your neighborhood listserv, any parent groups or civic groups like churches/synagogues, word of mouth, etc...

If you don't mind me asking, what agency did you use and would you reccommend them?

Also, OP, set out to find a college graduate with preschool teaching experience. Make your needs known clearly if you are placing an ad yourself. Also make sure the applicant has CPR certification and tdap vaccination proof.

Care.com. I read her profile and contacted her - she did not apply for the job as we were outside her search area. I was still pregnant and we offered her a signing bonus as well as a gas stipend (and a top hourly wage, of course). She has been fantastic and my daughter adores her.

Through an agency. We tried word of mouth and found some very experienced people, but the person we clicked with and have worked exclusively with for almost five years came from an agency.

We're are new to this idea of using a nanny having never had one ourselves as children. We're wondering how we can find a responsible, caring and stimulating nanny for our baby and preschooler. Did others use websites, agencies, listserv, referrals, churches, university job boards or something else? We would really like to know how we can find the best pool of applicants. Thanks!
