[quote=Anonymous]The time has come in our family where, next school year, I will only need childcare in the afternoons, from about 1:30-4:30.

We adore our nanny who is currently full time with us. I am fully aware that she might not be able to stay with us part time, but is there a way I could frame it up to increase our chances? Should I offer to find her another family who only needs morning help?

The twist is we are expecting our third baby, but not til late in the fall, and then I will have five months of maternity leave. I can't justify the price of a full time nanny during that time, but I would love her to come back with us and work full time again when I go back to work next spring.

Is there anything I can do to make this happen (part time starting in august, then scale back up to full time in the spring)? I understand this is a selfish thought but I would love to make it work. The alternative, I know, would be to let her go, find an afternoon babysitter for this school year til the spring, then find a whole new nanny when I go back to work. I can't justify the cost or the hours of extra help I won't need when my kids are in school full time, and when I'm off work on maternity leave. [/quote]
