[quote=Anonymous]OP, look into restaurant workers as possible nannies.
I've worked in restaurants on weekends, and some days very long hours, since 1997 and I still do. 
I raised two boys while working in a restaurant (got my my BA in Finance and finished 35 credits for MA in ECE). I have my own car (never had an accident and I can drive a stick), and I don't need health insurance at this very moment. 
The thing is, I'm not a native English speaker. I speak 5 languages (studied 7). I'm getting tired of working in a restaurant. It's time to do something else but only part time. I work hard, but I also love my free time, and I don't want to take my work home.
Restaurant workers don't get to go home just because it's 10 pm. People sit around until they feel like going home; then we go home. We also don't insist on too many perks; I've never had a 401k for example.
I might not be a career nanny, but I raised two great active kids and looked after 22 as an aide in DCPS. I will try to make the switch to being a nanny soon, but restaurants are about to have a busy season. I cannot leave the place hanging as we are short of workers. Then again, I hardly ever work the hours OP offers. The money is good at the restaurant but it can get very dense when busy.
Good luck, OP. There are many people who would love to have that job. Hope I didn't derail the post too much.[/quote]
