[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The time has come in our family where, next school year, I will only need childcare in the afternoons, from about 1:30-4:30. We adore our nanny who is currently full time with us. I am fully aware that she might not be able to stay with us part time, but is there a way I could frame it up to increase our chances? Should I offer to find her another family who only needs morning help? The twist is we are expecting our third baby, but not til late in the fall, and then I will have five months of maternity leave. I can't justify the price of a full time nanny during that time, but I would love her to come back with us and work full time again when I go back to work next spring. Is there anything I can do to make this happen (part time starting in august, then scale back up to full time in the spring)? I understand this is a selfish thought but I would love to make it work. The alternative, I know, would be to let her go, find an afternoon babysitter for this school year til the spring, then find a whole new nanny when I go back to work. I can't justify the cost or the hours of extra help I won't need when my kids are in school full time, and when I'm off work on maternity leave. [/quote] an arrangement has to be beneficial to both parties OP. its unlikely the one you propose is beneficial to your nanny. she likely cant justify the cost of having PT employment for 4-6 months...or longer. cmon.
