[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t want to be a nanny for you because I wouldn’t want my schedule to change month to month. I would need a life too. I wouldn’t want to do a nanny share with you beside it defeats the purpose of the two playing together consistently. All around annoying. I don’t know why you need care on the weekends if you are home. If husband is home during the week then just have him keep the baby but still pay nanny for fulltime care [/quote]

NP and who'd want you as a nanny? For one, you can't read in your rush to complain. OP isn't asking for care on the weekends. She says the weekdays will switch around and the reason they don't need 5 days of care is because some of her husband's shifts are on the weekend when she is home so they don't need care. And yes, I'm sure you think you deserve full time pay to work 3 days a week and the rest of the time off to "live your life."  :roll:

OP, yes, I am sure you can find a nanny and family willing and happy to do this. We have a 2 day a week share where the other family is FT. They like it because the kids get along and it's lower cost for them overall while their children still get a few days of full one-on-one time, and the nanny likes the extra money without having to commit to a full 40 hours plus of taking on an additional charge. There's always someone who's interested in just about any situation,  it just might take a [b]LOT[/b] more legwork to find. [/quote]

Most families that do shares want full-time shares.  Most that want part-time want a nanny split (1-1 with their children during their time), not a share.

What is the plan for summers, school breaks, etc?  You do realize that the nanny and other family will expect you to pay whether you’re off school or not.[/quote]
