I have waaaay too many kids to put them in daycare or hire a nanny, so it wouldn't be cost effective for me.

Yes, I have hired a Nanny before. I posted an add on craigslist, and I interviewed about 10 of them. Out of those 10 3 really stood out, and did a 2nd interview with. Then I called their references. After that I picked 2 to meet DD. Both came to the house, took a walk, and played at the park with her. During the time they were playing together I stepped away to see how DD reacted, and how the Nanny reacted. Both were great and couldn't say no to either, but I did. She was my Nanny for 2 summers. DD was at that age where daycare cost way to much, but she couldn't be left home alone, so I thought a Nanny was best. I also picked a young lady that was on the younger side because I knew she would have fun. It was a blast and she was also our babysitter during the fall/winter time.
There are also some great website as well.

I agreed. Care .com screen their worker on criminal background check.
