[quote=Anonymous]NP here. We kept our nanny FT during preschool years and then transitioned to PT once our DD was in full day school.

That said, once we transitioned to PT, all bets were off on her availability if DD was sick, or there was a snow day, or whatever. We did not ever assume she would work those days as she now has a PT job.

What we have worked out is that if there is a teacher conference, sick day, or whatever, we call her first. IF she is interested and IF she is available, she gets the rights of first refusal. If she doesn't want the hours, it's on me to find child care.

So far, it works, in part because she has been our sole nanny since DD was born and we have evolved an honest communication. Sometimes, she says yes to the extra hours, sometimes she says no. No problem for either of us.

We would have loved to retain her FT during DD's school hours, but there wasn't enough for her to do, although she was willing to take on extra work. Now, she has the option of taking other jobs, and classes, and doing as she wishes.

It's working for us.[/quote]
