[quote=Anonymous]I am thinking of working 20ish hours per week.  Probably closer to 15 hours.  I have a three year old in preschool 5 days a week 3 hours each morning.  Then a younger baby and no preschool.  I have a lot of flexibility in achieving my hours so I am trying to figure out how to make a schedule that would work best for hiring and retaining a nanny.  one of my concerns is that I have been told that if I hire a nanny with part-time hours, often the nanny will continue looking for full-time employment while working for me.  I want to avoid a revolving door.

So I have two possible schedules.  One I have a nanny come five mornings a week and mainly only watches the baby.  Might do drop off and pick up at the pre-school for the three year old though.  The second option would be to have the nanny for 2-3 full days per week so do drop off, pick up at pre-school, naps and have both kids in the afternoon.  What is more cost effective for me and more desirable schedule for a nanny?  Is there a possibility for a nanny share type arrangement?

Thanks for your help.[/quote]
