[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I returned to office in 2021 and it was impossible to source childcare in NOVA. We were paying $25/hr! Most of the au pair looking for extra work ghosted me. I used a couple college girls during summer but they had to return to school.

We end up finding lady without childcare experience, she worked in medical billing before. Glad it worked out but that was distressing and impacted my job.[/quote]

I always laugh at the posters who are like “just hire a teen!” or “pay a SAHM.”

My SAHM friends/neighbors would look at me like I grew a second head if I wanted them to be my after school childcare. They are not working because they do not need the money. They are not going to want to be beholden to my childcare schedule even for an extra $100/day.

Hiring a teen is okay for one off babysitting but most of them are scheduled with all sorts of extracurriculars (see multiple threads in the college forum about needing hooks to get into college).

Most of this advice is akin to older propel talking about printing out resumes on nice paper when applications are mostly online. It’s totally out of touch.[/quote]
