[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m op. I think we will consider a part time nanny. This might mean cutting down her 10 hour days to maybe 7-4. [b]I don’t really find it effective to be paying for availability when we don’t always need it.[/b] If we hire another nanny at least we know she won’t get mad for having to stay late. We usually stay late 1-2 days per week and most of the time it is last minute. We cannot just go home because our nanny cannot stay late. I understand everyone has a life so it might be better to have someone else in the evenings [/quote]

And you think it is going to be any different with a part-time nanny?  You are going to have to guarantee 4 to 7 anyway.  And all of us rush home to relieve the nanny, OP - that is just the nature of having an employee.  One or two nights every single week of having to work late - and at the last minute - is always going to be a problem.

Good luck.  I personally think you need 12 hours of coverage.  You should ask your current nanny if she is even interested in that before you have to hire someone else.  And after school nannies are the hardest to find and keep.  [/quote]
