Finding the right person to care for your children is not easy. To help you find the right person, it's best to clearly define your needs, budget and expectations. Do not plan on finding the right person immediately. Finding the right person will take time and patience.

Define what you need including hours, how many children need care, transportation needs, extra possible hours and more.
Configure your budget and what you can afford based on local average rates.
Explore agencies and job boards and post your job description.

Check references and conduct background checks.
Make the offer.
Require the new nanny to sign a Nanny Agreement. (Agency may provide it).
If you are not using an agency, obtain tax information and set up taxes.
