Seriously, OP - you don't even know if you want a full-time or a part-time job! Come back when you have a clue as to what you want.

if you need full time hours, is there any way you could do both family C and family E? Any flexibility there? I wouldn't even consider working 50 hours a week without being to leave the house..I would go crazy!

You think "stranger anxiety" lasts for long? You think kids stay inside their toddler years too?

Have you ever nannied before???

I would definitely go with Family C.

Do not go with Family B.

Having to spend fifty hours per week stuck inside will be extremely isolating and lonely. As well as incredibly boring.

Any family who wants you to be inside for 50 hours a week is crazy. There will be many many issues besides this one.

30 hours without crying anxious baby and a clueless nanny . Sounds like a recipe for success !!

OP here, I decline all the offer because I'm going to help a friend with her daycare. Maybe one day I will open my own.

Thank you for all the reply.

If a parent works 40 hours a week and has an hour commute each way (or 30-40 minutes), that comfortably can be 50 hours.

I disagree. I see nothing comfortable in having to stay cooped up fifty hours a week with a young child. Entertaining a child is a lot of work.
