[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe i am misunderstanding what you are looking for. 
When I read your post, what I am imagining is:
-On a random Tuesday morning at 6:45 am, you are knocking on your live in nanny/au pair's door telling her that your work scheduled a conference call  in 15 minutes and you need her to wake up and watch the kids.

But maybe what you mean is:
-On Thursday afternoon you sit down with the nanny and say "Stacy, next week I'm going to need you on Monday from 7 am -9 am, and then again from 3-4 pm.   I don't need you on Tuesday, but on Wednesday i will need you from 10 am-6 pm."

Which version  is closer to what you are looking for?[/quote]

In the middle I think? I'd know [b]the day BEFORE at the latest I think[/b].  Mornings and evenings on my own with all 3 are rough, so I'm thinking given I'll have to pay for the time anyways, having someone that can generally help me in the morning rush and then again with maybe preparing dinner / getting everyone to bed would be the norm but one of two of those slots a week I'd just need them to do it on their own.  I can't imagine a live in nanny would want so few hours, it'd probably be ideal for a lot of au pairs but I dont know if they're generally capable with 3 young kids? I thought about having 2 live out nannies, one that could cover like 7-1 and the other 1-8 (again witth me there for a lot of those hours but needing the coverage in case i can't be) but for some reason that feels like juggling more. but maybe its not.
