[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, you’ve gotten good advice about schools. Just wanted to chime in that I also have a demanding work schedule and it’s really difficult to find consistent care that fits around a DCPS school schedule. I’ve gone through 3 people since this past October, and all of them have been great, but schedules change. Very few people only want part time or intermittent hours, even paying well above a typical nanny rate. You need someone who either has another part time job that can fit around your schedule or is a student— both of which can change.

If you want to keep someone on retainer sort of speak, perhaps cleaning and doing some housework/grocery shopping while your kid is in school, that could work really well. It will be pricey but it will help manage your hectic life, and then you can keep some consistency for your kid. You don’t want to be scrambling month to month because you can’t find backup care/someone got a full time job and can’t accommodate your hours anymore/someone’s school schedule changed. (Been there!)
