Here's the lowdown. Nanny Job Boards suck. You end up screening oodles of resumes of people I wouldn't trust to watch my pet rock. I then contacted three nanny agencies. The first one told me about all their qualification and awards then proceeded to bad mouth their competitors. They seemed more interested in marketing themselves than listening to my childcare needs. (Scratch from list) The second agency was very nice but they didn't seem to have many qualified candidates (scratched from list). The third agency didn't answer phone or return my call (scratched from list)
I asked for suggestion from friends and my boss recommend I try Cambridge Nanny Group. Never heard of them before. This agency needs to do more marketing to get their name out there because their service rocks! Being able to screen candidates from a computer is awesome! We ended up hiring a nanny my wife and kid love.
+'s : no nonsense, professional, prompt, and delivers. Good post placement follow-up as well. Virtual Nanny Interviews are freaking brilliant!
-'s: Not every nanny video was a personality fit. They sent 5 videos and I passed on 3. They were qualified nannies but just didn't click with them. Higher prices for premium service but then again aren't nannies for rich folk anyway.
