We are looking for a nanny 15 hours per week for somewhat weird hours-we would have to pay for a full day at a daycare and it would work out to be more $$ and driving and chaos. I posted on CL, and had maybe 8 people interested. I interviewed three.
One is a 20yr old elementary ed major that seemed immature to me. I bet she loves kids but the gut feeling wasnt there for me.
One is a 25ish mom of a 13month old who seems great....but she wants to bring her 13 month old with her. She has a good history of local nannying.
One is 25ish with a bachelors in education who is doing a PT internship for a year. She thinks it will work with her schedule. I want her. I emailed her to offer it to her 24 hours ago and havent heard back yet although I am checking my email every 2 minutes in case . I would be willing to bet she is interviewing other places and in high demand.
Should I repost it on CL, or go with the one with the young child? I am only looking through December, after that I will be on maternity leave at least until March and will deal with it then. I am supposed to start work in 48 hours but the U offers an emergency child care service that I can use if I have to ( it is $4 an hour!). I am really really stressed about it at the moment.
