[quote=Anonymous]I would also consider a part time college student who is great with kids, but who doesn't want the apartment.  Rent that to someone who can afford the rent!  Just remember that any part time student (whether college or grad student) will have their schedule change every semester based on when the classes he/she needs are offered.  As a director of a childcare center who hired some part time college students, it can be hard to match up what I need with what they can offer, and sometimes, therefore, I don't use one very much one semester because I don't need what they can do. So expect that they might not always be able to do those hours.

I'd just advertise for a part-day nanny - 'must work 8-2pm M-F' and see what you get.  And advertise to "nanny share" with a family who has school-age children so is only needed in the afternoons - between your morning/early afternoon and their after school hours, it would be a full time job!  Just figure out what would work on the days when their elem. school kids are home - would nanny take your younger child to their house? would elem kids come to your house? this will happen on snow days and all those school days off, of which there are quite a few. And the nanny would also have your older 3 yr old on snow days, school vacation days, teacher conf. days - these days multiply in public school![/quote]
