[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm having an unanticipated childcare problem and will need care four days a week for a 20-month old for several weeks (likely about 6 weeks). I haven't used a nanny before (daycare, family, etc.). How should I set this up? I'd prefer to pay by the week with an understanding of the minimum number of weeks and agreement on how to handle additional weeks. Do I need to handle health care, taxes, etc.? Thanks in advance![/quote]

I am in this situation of unexpectedly not having childcare as well and I also have never used a nanny.  I will need care for my infant (all day) and 3 yo (after school) for 18 weeks.  My 3 yo needs stability so switching nannies multiple times won't work for us.  What advice would you have for setting something up in my case? It sounds like I'll be on the hook for unemployment, SS, and medicare, which I expected.  What would be expected for PTO and sick leave for an 18 week period that includes Christmas but not Thanksgiving? Am I likely to find someone on my own that wants such a short term job? Would I have better luck going through an agency?   Is there anything else I should be thinking about? [/quote]
