[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You'll note I said she "might consider" a nanny like that. If, for example, she wants someone with a college education or teaching experience for PT work, she will probably have to broaden her search to include non-traditional nannies. It was meant to give her the full picture of a search for a nanny (there are plenty of PT nannies looking for work, but how many of those will be considered suitable?), not to give you a minor point to harp on.[/quote]

PP, your quote "There are nannies who will do the after-school shift you describe, but it's hard to say how decent the pool of applicants would be" implies that most nannies she would interview won't be decent. That is a very misleading thing to say.

Nowhere did the OP mention needing anyone with a college education or teaching experience. She was asking about a nanny/sitter that could pick up her child earlier than she normally can from pre-school/daycare and to play with DC a bit, make dinner and so forth. That is not a demanding position. She offered to add in more hours if the person wanted more (when deciding between PT and FT work) which would be errands/housekeeping. Nothing about that suggests that she wouldn't be able to find MANY decent, if not very desirable, candidates who would do this for PT afternoon/early evening hours (therefore not needing FT hours from her). I think this is a major point of the conversation (not a minor one to harp on), it is whether she is likely to find people wanting PT hours with her available schedule and this is very likely. It seems like your opinion of the type of people who would take on a position like this are not very good at this type of job, or might have very little experience. This is not the case. I really think that you should stop assuming things about people that you have never met before and just answer whether people are indeed looking for positions like the one OP was hoping to offer with PT hours.[/quote]
