[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you know your/DH’s schedule in advance?  You might be able to make do with a roster of people to call if you can give a few days notice.

But if he just might not come home on time one day with no warning (bc he is in surgery or whatever), then I don’t think you can take the job with kids this young. [/quote]

No unfortunately he can't be pinned down in advance which is so so frustrating for my career b/c there are so few interesting jobs that can be always neatly contained in pre-set hours and right now its possible for me to take a call outside of the hours I have childcare b/c they can't just be losely supervised at this age.  Our kids get (and would continue to get) plenty of time with parents, its just needing the backup coverage that a SAH spouse / live-in grandma etc would offer. Not a ton of hours or regular schedule, but someone your kids are comfortable with and they're available to step in.  I feel like an au pair would probably be the most affordable solution if I could find one that wanted this schedule, but i'm not sure someone inexperienced could handle 3 young kids on their own[/quote]
