Exactly.   She "doesn't need the money."   So when an opportunity to go out of town or go on her older child's field trip or whatever comes up, she's not going to feel 100% committed to sticking to her agreement to watch your child.  ESPECIALLY if it's a week that your mom is supposed to be there.[/quote]
I think this horse has been beaten to death. Because of the PT nanny's flexible situation, I'm guessing that if grandma decides to flake, OP can start looking for a regular FT nanny without having to worry too much about the repercussions for this particular person. In the meantime, she'll have established a relationship with someone who seems willing to do PT and even emergency care should she need it.

Also, her DH comes home before kids get home from school, and OP is not too worried about taking time off for sick nanny. To me that suggests that their jobs are pretty flexible.

OP, I'm glad you found a solution that works for you. Just remember that you always have the option to change any childcare solution that you don't find to be working for you and/or your family. I do hope you update this post in a few months to let us know how it works out.[/quote]
