[quote=Anonymous]Thanks all! Is 8 am to 6:30 pm too many hours to expect someone to work?

Yikes - I know that is a long day, we live fairly close in but between 45-50 minute commutes and a 9 hour work day that's the best we can do. I'm hoping to find a more flexible situation in the next year, but this is what we have right now. The thinking is that with the nanny, at least the kids don't have such a long day. We had a dream scenario where my husband worked super close to our home for years, but he really hit a wall with that job, and was very lucky to find another job with great flexibility and much better pay. It is a better situation for so many reasons but the commute means that we are both working in the city now and it's tough for childcare (but at least they are in the same center now, when they are in two different locations next year it will be even harder).

The other option is to find a home daycare or full day preschool near my older one's school (which seems doable given the number of options), and hire someone PT to fill in - like 2-3 days a week, pick the kids up and take them home so that we could work until 5:30 and not have to stress about pick up from two locations. Just don't know how doable that is and might make more sense just to get a FT nanny.[/quote]
