    Finding a Nanny website?

    Anyone have any experience of this? Friend of the family is in need of a Nanny and asked for my help since the only place she has been posting is Craigslist, lol.

    Where would I go to help her look for a stay at home nanny?

    You got a local post office or store where people can post paper ads (like a notice board)? Those are the best. Local newspaper would work too, but may take some work or time to publish.

    What area are they located in? They could do Craigslist or something like Care.com, but I'd go with a professional agency if there's one in their area. They basically act like brokers. Nannies submit what hours, type of work, travel time, etc., they're willing to do; Agencies get requests from people looking for nannies, and then match them up. The better agencies even conduct interviews and background checks with nannies beforehand so the families feel more comfortable hiring them.

    For example- http://www.eastwindnannies.com/pittsburgh/families
    My wife applied as a nanny a while ago, and they were very thorough with the application.

    Just a few from a quick search. These agencies charge a pretty steep fee once a nanny is placed, depending on job duration, but it might be worth it to weed out any bad candidates.

    I keep seeing advertisements for Care.com on TV, I don't know if those are just your run-of-the-mill babysitters or if there's also nannies.

    if your family friend could afford a nanny your family friend would know where to find one. Tell them to look into a nanny share. They aint ready for how real the solo nanny game is. aint ready at all.

    better off finding a kind old illegal to do the work

    Seems finding a nanny without a reference from someone u know is asking for trouble.
