[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only possible way this could work out is if [b]you gave your nanny guaranteed hours and paid her the same amount every week, regardless if she worked or not. You also need to make a tentative schedule with your mom and nanny. Nanny needs to be able to make other plans during the weeks she is off, and not have to worry about being "on call". That being said, if your mom is sick or has a cancelled flight and can't take care of your daughter one day, you need to be prepared for your nanny to say no.[/b] If she has an entire week off, she's most likely going to make plans for those days and not be at your beck and call. I think a nannyshare is a good idea. Pay every week to hold your spot, and grandma can take a day off even during her weeks if needed. You can send her as much or as little as you like. [/quote]

I'm sorry but no. I agree that OP and OP's mom have unrealistic expectations for how this will play out, but I totally disagree with your points above that I've bolded. If OP decides to get a full time nanny and pays her to work weekly, but only utilizes her half the time, the nanny should be "on call" during her weeks off (which aren't weeks off since she's being paid the full amount). That's the only way this arrangement could work, if OP has reliable childcare even if the grandma isn't able to make it into town for whatever reason. [/quote]
