[quote=Anonymous]Due to some changes in our work schedules, I am in need of PT childcare (about 15-20 hours per week, definitely no more than that). The problem is that the hours are so odd because my daughter is in preschool and we work weird hours. I need two very early mornings, two to three evenings (dinner + put to bed), and one block of time during the day - could be really any time between 8-1 AM or 3-5 PM, and I have a lot of flexibility on which days of the week would go with which time slots.

We can't afford to pay for a FT nanny with her in preschool, and I want to keep her in preschool because she loves it and loves her friends there. What kind of person do I even look for with a job like this? I just don't know who would take a PT job with such sporadic hours. Is it worth trying to find someone to live in? Would that make it more appealing (maybe for a student)? If so, would I be able to pay less because I am partially compensating in the form of housing? We have an in-law suite that is separate from the rest of the house. [/quote]
