1302.0. "Seeking nanny agency" by IRONIC::BROOKS () Mon Feb 03 1992 14:07

    I have a friend whose wife just died of cancer.  She had just given
    birth to a baby (who is now two months old) and they have two other
    children (7 and 3 1/2).
    
    My friend is desparately trying to find a nanny so that he can start to
    put his life together and get back to work, but he isn't having much
    luck.
    
    I'm wondering if someone may have the name of a good agency, or some
    ideas on what he can try.
    
    Any input would be very much appreciated.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Sandi Brooks

1302.3	ef au pair is one of many	MR4DEC::SPERA		`Mon Feb 03 1992 16:15`	14
	I have an AU Pair through EF AU PAIR who is working out reasonably well, altho not perfectly. EF is a Cambridged based agency. Sometimes au pairs don't work out in one family and need to be placed mid year. Thus, he may be able to find someone who is here... the disadvantage is that the au pair would not stay long and he'd have to find another...in this case that might be an advantage as it would by him some time to find a more long term solution. I believe thay will prorate fees to take into consideration the shorter stay. BTW, if your friend's name is Phil, let me know if he wants more detailed info.

	I also had a friend lose his wife to cancer recently. He advertised in the bulletins of all the local churches. He also networked with local friends for recommendations. This was really how he achieved his objective. The local police chief was a neighbor and happened to mention the need to someone applying for a crossing guard position.

	There is also a place called "The Nanny Solution" that is based in Bedford, NH. They advertise having live-in and live-out nannies, part-time, full-time and vacation nannies. I have no idea how much they are though. You may want to give them a call 1-800-660-6269. Good Luck
