From my experience looking for nannies, there are a ton of potential candidates already in Calgary that could be interviewed.
My suggestion would be to look at agencies that are offering current residents a position or try to find someone yourself.

To each there own but most people I know who have done it have not had any issues whatsoever. Maybe one that didn't work out to at least 10 that have. There is always a risk but generally it works out since they want to stay and usually start off working pretty hard to ensure they don't get let go right away. Just have to watch they don't slack off 6 months down the road.
It's a risk for both sides. A company I used to work for did it to a guy who moved here from Tor. Had him move down here and when he didn't work out after a month or so let him go.
The advantage to someone here though you have a lot less paperwork to do and they may even be driving to get themselves around which is a plus if you have kids to ferry around to different classes.
