[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, your best bet is to look for a share with another teacher.  Make sure they’re ok with your older kids being there on a few days (haven’t you thought through the days over the summer when you go in?), but the nanny would NOT be doing much with or for them.[/quote]

OP here,

I don't think I want a share.  I think I want 1:1 care in my own home.

We usually have a few days of preservice, and a few days of time after school lets out.  This fall, I'd miss preservice, since the baby is due in July, but I could see asking the nanny to take the older kids during the time after the kids get out.  I'm still unclear how much extra I'd expect to pay for that.  My school is also fine with the kids coming in while I work in my classroom, and there are usually a few parents who do that, so if a nanny found having all 4 kids overwhelming, I could do that.

As for days during the summer, if I'm paying for 10 months, then I would need to do something else during the other 2.  In the past when I haven't been available to the kids in the summer, my husband took leave, or a grandparent watched the kids, or I used summer camp.  I imagine that I'd continue to do something similar.  If it happened that I had a nanny who was working at another job and had some time off, I could offer the hours to them, in case they were hoping to earn a little money, but it wouldn't be a requirement, they'd be free to turn me down.
