[quote=Anonymous]The best idea I can suggest is to find a parent of elementary-aged kids (same school schedule that you have!) and create a nanny split/share.  Create a schedule together that takes into account your days/weeks (their kids are in school), their days/weeks (you’ll be off and with your child) and shared time (any days kids will be off that you have to work).  Write the contract so that each family pays normal rate during their time, 75% each (150% total) when nanny has both families.  Hire a nanny together, with the contract central to the interview (both families present).  That’s the only way you’ll get out of guaranteed pay for that many weeks.

Make sure you have a plan for snow days (unless you’re in the exact same school, that might be shared days if you are working and they have off; it could also mean that you are paying for a day you stay home when the other family is in school).

Overall, you need to find an exceptional nanny.  You need someone comfortable being flexible at the last minute.  They need experience with infant through preteen.  They need experience juggling an infant and elementary-age kids at the same time.[/quote]
