meeting with a nanny agency today

[fortmyersbride]

I swore I wouldn't use an agency again as we've had not so great luck with them in the past. But, care.com pickings seem a bit more slim in our new city and (hopefully) this agency seems to have their shit together a bit better. Can't be any worse than the lady sent to us by the GA agency that started vigorous shaking DD during her interview.

I'm seriously considering taking the memory box of all the awesome activities that our nanny in NY did with DS, and telling them I want someone just like her. We still keep in contact by email, and I'm really not kidding when I offer to move her down here--an awesome nanny seems hard to come by these days.

one of my friends is a nanny here in KC and has found her jobs thru the agency. She has a FT gig now but when she was between FT jobs she got lots of sitter jobs thru the agency for Chiefs football players' kids, lol. I think the agency has a good reputation

Most people I know use an agency and have had good luck.

Thanks guys, I did get a better vibe from the agency today than I have in the past with other ones. She wanted to meet in person, meet the kids, and we had a very thorough discussion. In the past it's all been by email or phone, so I'm a bit more hopeful now
