[quote=Anonymous]I basically did this by accident. Four month maternity leave and had a terrible time finding childcare, wound up just deciding not to go back. Don't regret it -- my kid is amazing and I loved the extra time with her. You don't need a huge network to find a nanny, by the way. Just take your baby to story times and other places where there are often lots of nannies, and if you see one who is really good, strike up a conversation and ask if they know anyone looking for a family. That's how we found ours. And I agree with others that you don't need nearly as much lead time for a nanny as daycare -- there are always people looking. If you decide to go back to work, I'd start looking about 2 months before and make sure you've scheduled interviews by a month before. And try to interview at least three -- even if you love the first person you meet with, sometimes things happen and they aren't available anymore. It's good to have others in mind. [/quote]
