Would you be interested in part time? Lots of parents want that sweet spot window of after school/before dinner help. |
Our Nanny brought her elementary school age kids to our house for the summer (which was a nanny share with two toddlers). We did not reduce her salary. It was probably not too great for her kids. It helped her out. I think you should see what you can find. Could be perfect for the right family. |
We hired a regular part time babysitter when my child was 6 months to 2.5 years. I stayed at home but didn’t have any family support and my DH worked a lot even on weekends so I needed someone to come for a few hours a few times a week so I could run errands and go to appointments. It is so hard to find reliable part time care, and I would have absolutely considered your setup. Just put yourself out there and see who responds! |
I did it until my cleaning person sent me a recording of my nanny neglecting my crying child while she played with her baby. |
I would consider a nanny share paying half but not when it’s the nanny’s own kid. There’s no chance that my kid would be treated equally. |
This can be an issue but there are definitely people looking for a part time arrangement. Part time childcare often comes at a premium so this could be really interesting to someone, if OP can get her name out there and find the right family. |
