[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, I don’t possibly see how someone would be able to accommodate this schedule, unless, you find an retired nanny, young nanny (with little to no responsibilities looking for cash and the experience) and possibly paying under the table during the summer. However, this would not work for a share if the other family doesn’t have the schedule (off during the summer) and it will be hard to come about unless your husband had co-workers who need a nanny.

Your best bet is a solo nanny and most daycare centers and in-home don’t offer part-time for infants and may still require you to pay or pay an additional deposit to secure your space for full-time again in the Fall. [/quote]

OP here: I appreciate your thoughts on this! I'm considering in-home for the first school year and getting on a waitlist at a daycare center to start during the second school year. We're still very early in our planning and all of this is very new to us.

To previous posters with rude comments: This was an honest question as there could be multiple scenarios where this would work for a nanny, possibly one that works with a family with school-aged children that primarily need full-time care during their summer breaks. It's not uncommon to have one spouse work in a school system, so I was hoping for feedback from other parents on DCUM who would have experienced something similar.[/quote]

No one was rude to you, however, the question you posted was ludicrous in that you wanted a full-time nanny that you would not pay during the summer.  There were a couple of facetious answers pointing out that nannies need to be paid in summer.  [/quote]

It [b]is[/b] rude to make facetious comments and to call a question "ludicrous" when it was very clearly asking if anyone had experience with a similar situation. There are thousands of school employees in the area that may have similar needs where this arrangement existed. Just as there are thousands of nannies that have varying needs.

This community can be really helpful in certain situations; even some of the responses on this post have been helpful. It's a shame there are so many that are quick to judge and be unkind when many of us are just trying to figure it all out.[/quote]

Some ? to accompany your whine!
