[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rather than sending 2.5 and 4yo to preschool, we are considering hiring a nanny. We don’t need full-time hours — preschool was going to be 15 hrs/wk but we’d definitely be up for more than that, especially for someone who was willing to do some tidying, kid laundry, etc. I’m pregnant so this would be especially valuable after the baby is born.

Realistically, how many hours a week would someone want in order to not need/want another job? We’re REALLY serious about social distancing, I literally haven’t been inside a building that isn’t my house since early March (upcoming midwife appt will be the first time), and I don’t want to get an entire other family + their social circle’s germs. But of course I understand that part-time nanny work doesn’t bring in enough to live on.

Honestly I think my choices are probably either to find someone who is equally serious about not getting coronavirus and pay them for a full week, or keep on managing everyone at home myself as I’ve been doing. But I may have overlooked an option, so I would welcome suggestions. [/quote]
