I can't believe I'm even saying the "N word", but I'm heading back to work in abuot 4 weeks, and my husband wants me to look into a Nanny! She would be needed from 2pm till maybe 6 or 7 weekdays, and that's about it. But where do I even begin to look? Any advice would be appreciated!

What can I do next?

Try gonannies.com - they do background checks, etc. - have a guarantee....pretty risk free. You're not looking for fulltime, so maybe you could check out their Nannyshare (I think called Domestishare?) - it's new, and helps match you to another family to utilize a nanny together fulltime. Good luck!

I ended up hiring nannies from enannysource.com and would recomment them. I also got some good candidates from sittercity.com (though overall more babysitter caliber than nanny-like) and last summer I considered an excellent woman from criagslist.

Good luck. I really enjoyed having a nanny (until my son was 2) as it was much easier leaving the house every day - lower stress - and I knew he was in his space which was good.

Hi, I am a Local Coordinator with Au Pair USA in the DFW area. Would you be interested in an Au pair? Au pairs are 18-26 years old and are here legally on a special type of visa, J-1. Flexible, reliable, affordable childcare is available. Au pairs can work up to 45 hours a week and best of all....you set the hours! They also help with household chores. Right now, we are offering a $1,000 off program fees!

We provide great matches with au pairs and families with consultative matching available. I would love to introduce you and/or your partner to the Au Pair USA program.

Please contact me as well as check out our website to learn more. I am happy to personally help you match with an au pair.

Thank you so much for your consideration, I think our program can be a perfect match!
