that sounds awful, PP

I checked this forum before selecting an agency, so I wanted to post to help others. I chose Pink Nannies. I was impressed by their professionalism. However, they have high fees (as high as WHN) and a limit of six candidates they will send you. They cannot control whether their candidates are also using other agencies/services, so candidates may be about to accept another offer when they interview with you through Pink Nannies. It happened to me with multiple candidates, and Pink Nannies still adhered to their candidate limit. I found them quite inflexible. Just a word of warning.

have you tried nannies in the city ?

I do think temporary WHN is better than their permanent division. Even though I had my share of issues with WHN, I keep going back (simply because I don’t have a better alternative). But, I would never go back or recommend Nannypoppinz.

nanniesinthecity.com is phenomenal

Coast to Coast nannies is the absolute best

We used Nannypoppinz and Adventure Nannies. Stay away from WHN, they just want your $$

Nannypoppinz

Our former nanny found her new job through Pink Nannies and said they were very thorough and professional. They spoke with me (her then employer) multiple times - first before she was accepted to the agency as a candidate and during the vetting process for a new job. They sounded pretty good. Our nanny found them much more professional than White House nannies - just her personal opinion.

I’m just wondering if anyone has any suggestions of where to look? I’ve heard very mixed reviews from White House Nannies and am not familiar with any other ones.

I’ve tried care.com but am looking for someone with some special needs experience (just dealing with kids who are different not like diapering or doing medical stuff) and people don’t even seem to read my ad before sending a million applications. I think maybe they just see a rate that is acceptable to them and submit something without meeting the qualifications.
