[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes.  Many families with special needs children would be very interested in hiring you - but probably not for the salary you are used to.  May I suggest marketing your talents as a tutor or part-time facilitator (teaching the nanny to do what needs to be done, setting lesson plans, evaluating progress) to a number of different families?

One of my friends is an autism specialist and works with five different families - each for three hours a week.  She makes really good money (140K a year) and only works weekday afternoons from 4 to 7.  [/quote]

OP here, depending on the hours I wouldn't need to make what I make now.  I have a small private tutoring business.  It's small right now because of the amount of work I bring home every day.  I assume that with a nanny job, even for someone as dedicated as I am, there would be much less take home work to do in the evenings.  This would allow me to pick up a few more clients and supplement in that way.

However, the big downside to tutoring is that families generally want late afternoons and early evenings, or they want weekends.  It's hard to build a full time schedule, and especially hard to build a schedule that accommodates my own child.

My dream job would be 8 - 2 or so, allowing me to charge a lower rate and supplement the income with afterschool work.[/quote]
