Almost everyone has a story to share of a nanny or domestic worker who left them in the lurch at the last minute – especially after the holidays.
Domestic workers have become a pivotal part of a working mother’s life – they are trusted to keep the household running smoothly, look after the children and the house, and generally make life easier.

We spoke to several nanny and domestic help agencies to help you find your perfect fit, alert you to the red flags to look out for, and offer tips for your Plan B options in case of an emergency – so you can avoid the fallout from the dreaded “I am not coming back” SMS message on a Sunday evening.
