This sounded odd to me the first time someone suggested it but put a listing on Craig's List. That is how we found our nanny and she is wonderful! She came from a family who's mom decided to stay home with the three kids and Rosa (who also speaks Spanish) had been there for 5 years, which is unheard of to be there so long. We went through the awful process of interviewing candidates form the nanny websites - I would not recommend that! I have a few friends who found their nanny on Craig's List as well. Good luck and don't give up on the process - it takes a while.
