[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think your heart is in the right place with this idea, but it's going to be hard to find enough nannies to provide any kind of volunteer respite care on a regular basis, particularly when people might most need it (like when doctor's offices and other businesses are open).

A better model might be finding teens (or even adults, who might include nannies) who would be willing to run a drop-in babysitting service at some location a few days a month. Or maybe you could find daycares willing to donate up to x# hours a month to drop-in care. Both of these ideas would probably be easier to arrange and staff than finding an individual nanny who could regularly go to an individual family home.

You are right that these families deserve quality, accessible, affordable childcare. The only way they're all going to get it is if our government finally gets it together to provide that to all families (on a sliding scale, of course). This is a problem for families at all socio-economic levels, though, so I'm not sure why you think it's going to be as easy as asking for volunteers to solve it.[/quote]
