[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it sounds like you're connecting with the right community. I think you will find someone.
I don't know how old/what kind of shape grandma is in, but one reason to have a live-in without set hours is to have coverage if grandma has a bad day, or needs a day off. If you are there, too, that wouldn't necessarily have to mean nanny works all day, just that you would each take on a little more.[/quote]

This was me. My mom is 70 and in great shape, and when my husband was gone, she came to help on a weekend I didn't have anyone else. My children (4 of them) were very young, and the baby was still up all night eating. By the end of the weekend, I knew I wouldn't ask her to do it again unless I was desperately ill or something. She was clearly exhausted despite getting a full night's sleep (even though she denied it while shaking slightly and looking like she was going to keel over at any moment).

Now I have 4, and the oldest was 5 at the time, so it was a lot of running around, but I was surprised at how quickly she got tired.[/quote]
