[quote=Anonymous]With that schedule you need to accept that you have to hire a FT nanny who can workk whatever hours you are scheduled for. You cannot expect someone to take a PT job but also be available to work over night 1/3 of the time. But you probably can find a nanny who will agree to a fixed schedule of 40-50 hours a week whenever you need them. You’re not going to be able to rely on “free PK” and a PT nanny with your schedule. Remember that you are the sole wage earner and you need to invest in ensuring you can work. So yes; you will pay 1/2 your income on childcare. The other alternative is overnight daycares that cater to shift workers/medical professionals, but that seems rough. You can still send your child to “free” PK with a fulltime nanny - you’d just use the nanny hours at different times of the day/week, or see if she’d do light housework and cooking while DD is at school. But you need 100% paid coverage for when you work. [/quote]
