I'm glad the med student murderer thing hadn't happened yet, because now I'm afraid to even sell my toaster on Craig's list.

Thank you so much for sharing! Finding good care is such a challenge and it really does help to know that you're not the only one struggling.

We found both of the nannies we've had on craigslist! The first was also listed through an agency but also had her own ad. I also had a feeling about her - that I could trust her. She loved my daughter like her own but she had some other personal issues that made it stressful.

Nanny #2 (current nanny) is amazing. Everything we were looking for- her former employers posted an ad for her on craigslist. We love her and she is like family.

I love this story! Not only because I'm glad that Gloria worked out for you and tat Melly was well cared for, but also because I'm in the process of finding a new baby sitter and have also resorted to Craigslist in our new city. When I tell people this, they have the "med student murderer" reaction as well, and previously I had no real comeback. Thanks for the ammunition!
