[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you 100% sure that taking the teaching job would require her to completely quit working for your family?  I was in a similar situation and it has worked out wonderfully.  Our nanny taught while my child was in a different class at the school.  [/quote]

Nanny was sounding hopeful that she could work at the school then easily pick DD up since they would be at the same school.  But I think for that to work, I'd have to extend DD's day by an hour since I don't think any of the teachers' day ends right at pick-up.

Well, I don't know your school.  In our case, right- the teacher/nanny's day did not end right at the time my childrens' day ended because there was some cleanup/prep for the next day involved.  It wasn't an hour each day, more like 15-20 minutes after.  My kids also went to school about 20 minutes early to "help" set up.  They thought it was fun.  The mostly played and sometimes did extra crafts.  I think they liked being the only kids who got to be in the classrooms at those times.  I didn't care because that's pretty much the same thing they would be doing with our nanny at home.  I guess if that's a dealbreaker for you, then the teaching and nannying positions are mutually exclusive.

For what it's worth, I think it's a fair assumption by the preschool teacher that because your nanny works part time, she would be able to fill some of the hours she wasn't working without disrupting her arrangement with your family.

First, thanks for not roasting me like everyone else.  Your kids' preschool sounds a lot more flexible than ours.  I would be fine with extending DD's day by half an hour, I'd have to pay for a full hour, but I can certainly live with that.  As to what the teacher assumed - DD's preschool is full-time and likewise, the teachers all work full days.  I don't see how she could think that nanny would continue to work for our family even on a PT basis if she was working 40 hours/week at the school.[/quote]
