Krista is seeking your experiences with nanny placement services. Can you offer any?
I am wondering if anyone has experience with either Care Givers Placement Agency or A Brilliant Nanny - I am looking for occasional childcare for my 3 month old daughter and would love to know if anyone has used either of these agencies and what their experience was like.

I have used Caregivers many many times over a four year period and found all the nannys to be experienced, well trained, responsible and kind and loving towards my children. I would highly recommend them.

I also recommend Caregivers. We've been having a nanny come into our house just one day a week for the last 4 months and have been happy with all the nannies sent. There is one that we especially like and we request her every time, but they've all been competent, responsible and great with my son. He has a great time.

On Cherl's recommendation above, we also signed up with Care Givers and have been thrilled with each nanny who has come to sit for our daughter. I'm not always the best planner, yet all 3 times I have been put on a waiting list, the agency has come through for us at the last minute as well.

I also used Caregivers quite a bit when my daughter was younger. I was quite happy with them.

We use the Auntie Fay Agency. The owner, Loyce, has done a fantastic job of lining up terrific occasional nannies for us over the past 3 1/2 years.

we use Care Givers and have been really happy with them. Everyone they sent has been wonderful and the kids love them! We have been using them for over 3 yrs now and they are great at working with you. They helped coordinate emergency coverage for our last two pregnancies.

i've used a brilliant nanny more than a dozen times since last fall and have been very pleased with the nannys we have had. both my kids have enjoyed them tremendously and i was delighted when one scrubbed my stove top during nap time! danielle, the owner, is amazingly responsive and professional.

I used a Brilliant Nanny for helping us find the right permanent nanny for our one year old girl and we love the nanny they found for us.

I have used Rose City Nannies to find a permanent nanny for my infant daughter and we loved the whole process. We had spoken with a few agencies but found this one to be the most personable and had great sucess with the candidates. It was a hard choice which provider to hire. A great experience for the whole family!

Hi I used SitterCity.com and did my own search, reference checks and background search. I found it to be a lot cheaper. I arranged for my interviews in our home so we could see how the kids interacted with the candidates.
It worked out really well. Good luck!
