Best Place To Find A Nanny Job - excluding an AGENCY

[Supernanny19]

I know Nannyjob and gumtree..just wondering what parents use

I've known parents to use NannySelect.

The Lady magazine

i heard from a variety of people that it was a good idea to use Nannyjob (£20 for an ad) or Gumtree (free). So I used both.

Have not yet interviewed any of my applicants, but thus far, am finding Nannyjob applicants better-qualified, although naturally they therefore expect a higher salary.

I should have thought that there are other places to look that might yield my dream nanny - please let me know if I'm missing an obvious trick here.

simplychildcare are great

why dont you want to use an agency? worked v v well for me. just interested to know why you wouldnt want to register with one?

friend got job through www.netmums.co.uk

word of mouth is also handy

nowwearefour - id rather speak to the family myself rather than have interviews arranged for me. many agency you speak to them first.
