[quote=Anonymous]I'm in a 24 hour position right now and have been here for almost exactly a year. I worked in a team of nannies, so there are always 2 of us on duty.  There are three children, but the oldest has special needs.  I work Monday morning through Friday morning, then have three days off.

One of us has to be up at 6 and get the middle one out the door to school.  The other one starts at 7:30 and helps get the oldest to school.  Then the person that started at 6 takes a break while the older two are at school.  Then we both work until the children are in bed, so until at least 8:30, but sometimes as late at 10 or 11.  The other nanny that I work with is great, so we switch off and share duties.

It's nice to have the 3 days off a week, but I usually spend Friday catching up on things.  They also only bring one set of nannies on vacation weeks.  They take at least 4 trips a year, so that is nice as well.  As a result we get chunks of time off either before or after vacation.

This is an exhausting job and they have been through a lot of nannies!  Although here it's not really the schedule that causes people to leave, but the MB.  [/quote]
