[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We currently have a nanny but are thinking we'd like to do part-time daycare or pre-k in the next year or so in order to provide more socialization for my son. What do people typically do when they would still want part-time care from a nanny? Is this a common thing and [b]the nanny is likely to be flexible [/b]or do you usually need to find someone new who wants part-time hours?

We couldn't afford to keep paying for 40-hours a week for the nanny and a PK program, which I know could be an issue. Our nanny doesn't drive (gets dropped off and picked up by a relative every day) so I'm also worried that I'd need to make time in my work day for pickup. I'm nervous to bring it up to our nanny because she tends to jump to conclusions or worst-case scenarios, so I was wondering if anyone else could share their experience.[/quote]

Well, how likely do you think it is that the nanny's landlord will also "be flexible" about the rent your nanny pays?    Or the grocery store will "be flexible" with your nanny and what they charge for basic groceries?   If you nanny wants to go to a concert or pro sports game, do you think the ticket vendor will "be flexible" with her regarding the price she has to pay for tickets?

Are you able to convince the landlord, grocery stores, and all other entities that could possibly come up in your nanny's life to "be flexible" and make special price accommodations just for her, because of YOUR decision to send your kid to part time pre-school?[/quote]
