[quote=Anonymous]Ok, so I shouldn't expect if I can work part time that there'd be any savings in terms of my cost for a nanny?

I figured that a full time share is over 40 hours a week (because most people work 40 hours a week, so if you consider when they'd need a nanny to arrive, and when they'd need to get home, it's probably more like 45-50).  I calculated that based on when my husband and I leave for work (so, I'd need a nanny ideally from 7:30-5PM to account for possible late arrival of a nanny and a late metro ride home).  That's 50 hours a week.  If I worked fewer hours every day (Monday-Friday), it would be more like 8/8:30-4PM, which is a 38 hour work week.

I wasn't talking a 2-5 hour stint of nanny time -I apologize if that's what it sounded like.  I am hoping for a regular schedule, just not so many hours a day.  I can't tell if this is something marketable to other families, but I definitely can't afford a full time nanny for one kid for 37-38 hours a week - Yikes!

I apologized if it sounded like "hey, you have a nanny...I'll pay you a few bucks for yours to watch my kid for a couple of hours a day!". No, not at all - I am just trying to see what's marketable to other parents and other nannies.  I'm not sure if a nanny would want less than 40 hours a week (or just 40, no more), but not "part time".[/quote]
