[quote=Anonymous]Seconding (thirding?) the nanny-share suggestion. I have been able to piece-meal various child care hours over the years this way (I'm a mostly SAHM but sometimes need regular PT childcare for work or other obligations). One arrangement was with a family who I'd met through nursery school. Two other arrangements were with families in the neighborhood. Each time, I just noticed a family with a good nanny situation and asked them if they would be open to the idea of sharing x hours a week, and if so, I approached the nanny about it. IME the nannies are thrilled, because it's more money for not much more work. You do have to be willing to use the full-time family's home, since that's almost always going to be what makes more logistical sense (for me, it was preferable!) Good luck. This should get easier for you as time goes on and you meet more parents/families.[/quote]
