[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, appreciate everyone’s input. If I could get an au pair I would but you need to be a US citizen to do that in DC.

Sounds like I’ll need a FT nanny. What constitutes FT, 40 hours/week? What would I have her do on my week off? Groceries, laundry, cleaning etc?

As far as location I think if I can get her into St Albans I’m leaning towards Cleveland Park for accessibility, walkability, restaurants and stores etc that I feel are missing from Petworth. Is living there worth it to have her at St Albans compared to the other schools? It’s a 20 minute bike ride to WHC according to people who live there.

She’s #33 on Tubman waitlist. Is there a significant difference in schooling between St Albans, Tubman, Dorothy Heights, Appletree and Meridian? [/quote]

Living in Cleveland Park, sending your child to St. Albans and hiring a FT nanny is SUCH A GOOD plan for you. This will definitely work. I can see you and your child both thriving in this situation.

Wish you luck in finding a great nanny. There are many here in DC and I'm sure you'll find one. The nannies I know who work with single parents with demanding jobs who do overnights are all wonderful. Find someone who feels like part of the family.[/quote]
