[quote=Anonymous]Good morning, all....
I'm just starting to come up with an alternate plan for child care should I not get a spot in day care.  I'm hoping to go back to work part time, and my husband is allowed to telework one day a week or do alternate work schedule (every other friday off).

What I am wondering is this, based on the experience of nannies and families...

what is the chance of finding or starting a successful nanny share?  If we wouldn't need 5 days a week from normal times (like 7:30-4:30 Monday-Friday), is it more difficult to find a share with a nanny who will stick around?  I'm trying to decide - if I'm even allowed to come back part time - if I'm better off still working 5 days a week, just shorter days...or taking a day off.  If our nanny share need is 3 days a week and it's too difficult to find one that lasts with a nanny who is happy with the schedule, I will can that idea and look for shorter hours Monday-Friday.

Anyone's experience is welcomed.  Baby hasn't been born yet, and even though we'll have almost a year between putting our names on day care lists and needing care, I'm not going to hold my breath on finding a center, so I want to be sure to have a back up plan and be ready to find a good share and good nanny.

thanks, all![/quote]
