| I see SO many fall jobs on care.com and sittercity. Am I too late to find a summer job? I'm looking for a 3 days/week job. |

| Nope! We haven't even begin looking for our summer nanny yet! |

| I just started looking for a summer job and I see that quite a few have been posted within the last couple days or so. |

| You're probably fine op. I'm not looking for a summer job this year, but when I have in past years I usually started seeing postings start popping up around Easter. |

| OP here. I just began the application process yesterday and have got a few responses. I prefer working with babies/toddlers. It seems like most of the summer nanny jobs are with school aged children. |

PP here who has worked summer jobs in the past. I'm the same way, and with enough searching I usually found several families with younger children looking for care. The most common scenario was a school aged child with the summer off and a younger child switching caregivers (usually starting pre-school) in the fall, and it made the most sense for families to fill the gap with one summer nanny instead of taking the kids to two different places. It's also really common for families just moving into or about to move out of the area to use a summer nanny for younger children as well. The jobs aren't common, but they are out there, keep at it OP! |
