I found her by reading the local moms forum we have and then cross referencing her with her care.com profile page. It has worked out wonderfully so far! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-find-your-nanny-babysitter#post-1034619 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 15:32:45 +0000 Torchwood 1034619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always found my jobs as a nanny through care.com and sittercity.com. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-find-your-nanny-babysitter#post-1034599 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 15:27:56 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1034599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>care.com and nannies4hire have been great for me! sittercity is good too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-find-your-nanny-babysitter#post-1034585 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 15:23:57 +0000 BKCaribBaby 1034585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nannies are pretty common where I am, and I found that most people have found theirs through word of mouth and referrals. Do you know anyone who currently has a nanny? Maybe their nanny knows someone who is looking for work. We found ours through a local parent listserv. Is there something like that for your area? Another resource is a nanny agency. Often the agencies vet people, which may give you some peace of mind. Finally, I know some people have used care.com. If you're comfortable, that might be an option. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-find-your-nanny-babysitter#post-1034549 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 15:11:48 +0000 heffalump 1034549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a SAHM, but my SIL is looking for a new nanny and they've been going by word of mouth. If they do end up getting a nanny (her mom might end up working PT so she might watch the baby) they found someone who is a nanny for an older kid so that family only needs her after school, and they only need her in the mornings so that would work out perfect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-find-your-nanny-babysitter#post-1034539 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 15:08:45 +0000 emilym 1034539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband has been a SAHD for the first year and a half of our son's life but he's ready to get back to working, at least a few days a week for now. I haven't the first clue how to find a decent babysitter/nanny. We have no family anywhere near us and the few friends &amp; neighbors we have asked that have the time have said no :( I need some suggestions please. Thanks! </p>
