[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My guess is that she is weighing how much it would cost to keep you on with the new baby vs. staying home. Or, that she is deciding between daycare and full-time nanny, or some mix of you, preschool, and daycare. I can't image she can take both kids to work with her!

If they haven't talked to you about full time, they are probably stretching to pay you as it is, and they just added a new person to the family. I would expect either no change (1 kid, though it could be either one), or MB decided to stay home.[/quote]

Saw OP's update.  This family doesn't sound so "rich" to me otherwise why would the mother be trekking a kid to/from her office twice a week. 
She is either going to need full-time childcare (5 days a week) or may quit over the next several months after evaluating all the costs.

Just politely inquire how you'd like to help and if you have any preferences (be their full time nanny, find another job, ask the other family for FT), now is the time.  This first family is likely just pondering everything while trying to adjust to a (hopefully healthy) new infant. [/quote]
