[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like a very tricky situation. As a nanny I think I'd prefer a set schedule, like [b]3 days during the week and 1 weekend day[/b] - this way I can plan my own things better, have an additional job on the days off, etc. And it gives nannies A and B an opportunity to swap days if need be without the mother having to scramble for back up care.

Ignore all the mean comments - having an extra pair of hands when you're going through a tough situation is invaluable. Good luck to the mother and the children![/quote]

So you're working 3 days during the week meaning the odds are very much against you to find a job for those other 2 days, and then also one on the weekends so you couldn't find a job on the weekends either. You forced yourself into part-time with that schedule. It's great if you only have the stamina to work part time but there aren't many nannies, especially high caliber as OP wants that would take such a schedule.[/quote]

I suppose it could be tricky, but actually my last position was M Fr for family A and T W Th for family B and now I'm working four weekdays for family A, one weekday for family B and Saturdays for another family. I don't think it's impossible or very hard to do two part-time jobs, and there's certainly demand for nannies who want to do part-time. And set days, as opposed to a floating schedule that changes from week to week, are much easier for getting a second job.[/quote]
