[quote=nannydebsays]OP, I think that what you are describing is either a "Mother's Helper" job, or a great job for a novice nanny, who is new to the field and needs experience in order to eventually sign on with agencies.

In your shoes, I would look for candidates at nearby colleges, especially in the psychology, nursing, education, and similar departments, as well as advertising that you would be happy to hire someone with a background in the daycare/preschool field.

If you attend a church that has a mother's morning out program, perhaps one of the teachers would like to try something new, or they might know of a candidate for you.

You might also find a mature high school junior or senior who plans to teach or go into another child focused field and would like to gain experience in childcare.

I would offer $15+ per hour, make the framework of the job clear in your ads and in person, and look for an enthusiastic person who you "click" with personally.

And last, I would change the hours you want to cover the "witching hours", between 3 - 9 pm or so. When I think of what time I would least like to be alone with 2 under 2, the end of the day is my instant choice.

Good luck![/quote]
