Nanny CVs - why do they have so many jobs?

[Pennies]

I'm recruiting a nanny for the first time and have had a few CVs sent through and it seems that no-one stays in a job for more than 6 months. What happened to the concept of longevity?

We need a nanny who is going to help us through a very difficult year (I will be having treatment for cancer) and I am so worried that we will be left in the lurch by someone who is always looking for a better opportunity.

Where is best to get the best nanny?

I, like Missus84 choose to temp, as i love to travel and love the flexibility

Always make sure I get refs though, even if the temp job was just a week or 2 holiday cover
