Hi! I am looking for a full-time nanny for my 13 month old and I was wondering if you have any recommendations for a nanny or for an agency to help me find a nanny. I tried two different agencies earlier this year but was not happy with the quality of candidates that were sent for me to interview. I am looking for a nanny who can communicate with us in English and is reliable. We live in W Plano. I would sincerely appreciate any suggestions.

What can I do next?

I used Mom's Best Friend to find a nanny for my 13 month old son. I was so pleased with them, only my work schedule changed and I no longer needed my nanny. However, next time I need them they will be the first phone call I make. They were very thorough and accommodating to my family's needs. The staff was so friendly and helpful, and it didn't take a month to find me a great nanny. I would give them a call.

C.,

I ended up going with enannysource.com. It is much less expensive than the agencies and I have found well qualified individuals (and of course some not so qualified). Good luck!

C., did you try Mom's Best Friend? My friend Kim owns the local agency, and I've got friends who have worked for/with her. The website is www.momsbestfriend.com. Just click on the Dallas link, and you can find the phone number, etc to reach the office. I do know that she does a complete criminal/background/referral check on her nannies/sitters. You might also want to check with some of the ladies at your church if you go to one. They may know someone who would be great! Good Luck with your hunt.
