There are a number of websites out there...NannyNet, enannysource, gonannies, etc. Most of them offer places where nannies can post and where you can also post specifics for nannies. My only suggetion is that you be VERY thorough when you are interviewing. Also, pay the extra money to do your own background check. Good luck to you and if I were you I would try to find a nanny that can also help you with housework.

I found mine by posting an ad on craigslist.com. I interviewed about 5 and ended up liking a bubbly 20 yr old college student. She is studying to be a teacher and used to work at a daycare. She will come help me out and mostly watch my almost 2 yr old on Saturdays until my husband gets home at 4. I'm paying her $50 for every Saturday.
Then I'm temporarily taking him to daycare 5 days a week (150/wk) for 6 weeks. So $800 a month goes to childcare,thereore we've had to cut back on expenses to accomodate.
My newborn just turned 1 week old today and I'm still recovering. Also,breastfeeding takes a lot of my energy. By the time my son gets home from daycare,my husband is also home so I hand him the baby and spend a few hours with just my son so he doesn't feel "replaced". I feel a lite guilty but my sanity needs it, as well as my health!

Hey you know I just saw JON AND KATE PLUS 8 and she used a service to help her find a nanny. Out of curiosity I googled the show and found a link to the service. I like how they interviewed for her and she watched from another room..video monitor. Why don't you Google the show above and locate the service...maybe they have one out here.

Good luck!

Oddly enough, advertise in the newspaper. You will be able to "weed out" the nutters over the phone. I got the best nanny in the world this way. She was unwilling to pay an agency as many are. Also,check the bulletin boards of local churches. Lastly EMAIL everyone you know.
My husband was overseas for 6-8 weeks at a time for five years and I could not have raised my son without the help of a nanny. I totally suggest getting one full time. They take care of YOU as well! Guild is a useless emotion, do not feel guilty, you will be a better mom for having help!

Hi J.,
I saw your posting and wondered if you'd considered the flexibility of hosting a live-in au pair?
I will be glad to advise about the program if you'd like to know more. There is a local Cultural Care Au Pair group here in Fort Worth, and I'm the local childcare coordinator.
Our au pairs provide up to 45 hours per week of childcare in exchange for private room (bath may be shared), board, a $158 weekly stipend plus a small annual educational allowance of $500. Program fees can also be placed on a credit card to lessen the initial start-up costs. In-country placements are available for more immediate needs. Matching and overseas arrivals tend to be about 4-6 weeks typically depending on requests and season.
Cultural Care Au Pairs are: English speaking in addition to their native language, 18-26 years old from 44 countries, have references and 1 year visas with an option to extend up to another year. They are insured, screened, experienced with childcare and have gone through a training program in the US. Host families only need to have one parent that is a US citizen (green card holders ok) to qualify. If you're spending more than $300 a week in childcare/gasoline etc. then this is a cost effective option. The rate is the same regardless of the ages, number of children or special needs accommodation.
To learn more call 800-333-6056 or I can send an electronic brochure via email. You can also find out more and apply online at www.culturalcare.com. Currently, new families from Texas that apply by 5/15 and welcome an au pair by 10/17/08 get $250 off program fees AND the $350 application fee is waived! That means you can match for FREE with no risk! Just use promo code PCTEX2008 on the last page of the host family application and please reference me as your source. I look forward to assisting with your childcare needs.
