[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's wonderful, OP, and I'm glad it worked out for you.  May I ask what they're doing for childcare while you're out?  I think this is a tough issue - you say that your employers are normal middle class people, but they obviously have either another back-up childcare option they can use for up to three months, a way they can rearrange their own schedules, or enough money to be double-paying for childcare for three months.  I'm not saying that people *shouldn't* do what your employers are doing or that a nanny isn't worth it or anything like that, but I can imagine there are some lovely people who literally could not afford to double pay for childcare for three months and/or who would lose their jobs if they had to make it work without their nanny for that long.

Of course. They are flying in both grandmothers from the other coast (for a couple weeks each) to cover while I'm out, so although they will have to put them up in a hotel (they live in a small apartment), there won't be additional childcare costs. Of course not everyone can do it, including people who might want to, I'm just so touched that they were able and willing to do this for me.[/quote]

Completely agree. I think I just wanted to say that although you must be an excellent nanny for them want to do this and you must have very generous employers and that's all wonderful, some of it is luck too. I could want to be as generous as that, but don't have family that is alive, don't have a flexible job schedule, am paying my nanny a great rate but really having to cut back on everything in order to afford it, etc, and just literally could not handle double-paying for child care for three months. Some of it doesn't come to being generous unfortunately :([/quote]
