[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our nanny is currently full time. We need her full time thru the summer, but would like to transition to part time in the fall. Our kids will both be in elementary school so we don’t need care during the day. We’d need roughly 25 hrs/week - several hours in the AM and several after school. Our jobs are such that we won’t be able to get the kids ready and then to school ourselves.

Would be interested in hearing from you if you’ve made this transition. Did your full time nanny stay on in a part time capacity? If not, how hard was it to find help in the morning and help after school? How long did the search to find someone take, and did you hire one person or one AM person and one PM person? How much notice did you give your full time nanny before you transitioned to part time?

Appreciate any input. Thanks![/quote]

It will be nearly impossible to find someone to work mornings AND afternoons but you only pay them for 25 hours a week. I mean, who would want that gig?

We have kept our nanny full-time since our kids started full-day school because it was the only reasonable thing to do. She couldn't afford to go from full-time to part-time, and it was going to be too hard to find a part-time, middle of the day job to fill the extra hours. Also, for school holidays, sick days, snow days, etc., it was easier to have her. Plus, if you need her full-time in summer, what would you do then?

Honestly, think about what you would think if your boss said they were cutting your hours and pay in half and you'd have to work two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon every day?[/quote]
