[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a two-physician couple who provided free room and board in exchange for this occasional last minute coverage outside of the standard workday (when they had regular childcare).  
It seemed to work out well for them.

I am also not really sure what exactly you are looking for, but I have had au pairs in the past, and it is a LOT of work and expense.  I don't think it would be worth it for just a few hours/wk of childcare, and I don't think either of you would really be happy.

What type of person did they find for this?

And I'm not exactly sure either given I'm not in the job and everything is weird right now with people dealing with all sorts of stuff re covid.  The gist is that its an external facing role so while I can often control my own schedule, if something is on fire I can't say "sorry its impossible for me to talk to you guys for 3 hours while I'm doing dinner / bath / bed for my kids".  Its not a job where the expectation is crazy long hours, but its a tiny company and the expectation of this role would be that when shit hits the fan I could dig in and solve it b/c there's no one else to do it.[/quote]
