[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I had 3 older kids and a newborn, I had a full time nanny and a part time nanny-housekeeper.

I think it will be hard to find someone willing to work for 2.5 hours a day, but you can try -- maybe a student would take this job? If you can bump it up to 4-5 hours a day, you will probably find someone. Maybe you can make it a housekeeper/babysitting position rather than purely babysitting to come up with the hours.

Also, it will likely be easier to find someone who can do mornings, especially if you decide to only do 2.5-3 hours a day. Would your nanny be willing to shift to 9:30-6:30?

Also, I just prorated the benefits for our part time person. So, she still gets the same number of days off a year, only her "day" is 5 hours, and our full time nanny's "day" is 8.5 hours.[/quote]

I think you misunderstood the OP.  Nanny A would be at the house from 7am-4pm, Nanny B would be at the house from 1pm-6:30pm (current schedule). [b]Nannies would overlap from 1pm-4pm.[/b]

One thought--1-3 is often naptime for babies and toddlers.  So you'd have two nannies in the house at the time that half the kids are sleeping.  And at least one of your other kids will be in school, right?  So you have the most coverage when you need it the least.  [/quote]

My boys end school at 2:15. So our nanny picks them up and brings them back to the house. Depending on when the twins nap, then it might be possible that they nap between 1-3. Either way, it doesn’t matter because we still need someone to come in at 7 am. I leave at 6:45/7 and DH leaves at 7:30 with boys. [/quote]
