[quote=Anonymous]I think the people who say they need more hours are probably working at less than 40 hrs, or want some OT. 11 hour days are still a hard sell.

Your child will quickly get used to any differences in style between two nannies; I'm assuming you would only hire good, kind people who know how to care for children. One isn't going to be Cruela DeVil while the other is a woodland fairy. The other advantage to having a second nanny for those kinds of hours is that you don't lose 100% of your childcare if the nanny gets sick, and you have a second person to call if you're ever in a pinch.

Yes, your part time person is likely to be less reliable in the sense that you probably won't keep that person as long. However, it's not impossible to find. You need to offer at least 3-4 hours a day, though, to make it worth someone's while, which is why it probably makes more sense to either have a 3-day and 2-day nanny, or a 4-day nanny and a 1-day nanny (this is what I would do).

Also, if there are agencies in your area, I would go that route.[/quote]
