[quote=Anonymous]Childcare would definitely be the trickiest thing to figure out. Do you have family in the area that would be able to help out when it happens that DH is out of town and you're working overnight? If so, then if financially feasible my suggestion would be to get childcare that covers all of DH's regular work hours. That way you have the option of catching up on sleep/errands/etc. during that time if you need to, and then picking the kids up early or taking a day to be together when you can. This might actually be the more cost effective option, as you're covering regular business hours, and can use standard day care options. If that doesn't seem like a workable option, then you're probably going to have to find a nanny willing to work hours like this (they are out there, as plenty in the medical profession are working hours like this). You're still probably going to have to guarantee her weekly hours, but you might be able to find someone who can be flexible with when those hours are. But all of that is likely to come at a premium.[/quote]
