My ex-wife was a nanny for many years to supplement her Yoga instruction as the classes were mostly late afternoon.

She always found more work than needed strictly from word of mouth of her clients. If you have a Nextdoor account a quick posting would likely give you plenty of leads from neighbors on available folks.

Always ask for full references and make sure you speak to every family on their experiences. It is welcome and accepted that you will, this is your family of course. Background checks are always standard as well.

She was usually paid as a normal employee and most often provided a vehicle to do the many drop-offs that kids activities entail. Hiring as a normal employee will provide you the tax benefits to help offset nanny costs. She did not receive medical, but did go along on family trips worldwide and fully paid to assist. (These were very wealthy clients normally)
