[quote=Anonymous][quote]We need 7am-5pm coverage daily (gasp!) for three children (2 that are not in school yet). We have a part-time nanny that is happy working 2 days a week that the AP does a split schedule. The AP staggers on those days. I agree that the AP program is alot easier for school aged children, but you can make it work with the right personality for infants and preschoolers too. You can screen for these characteristics. Someone that is used to working longer hours in a multiple child setting. [/quote]

This sounds like a great solution!  And you may be able to work in some later evening help to get you through dinner/bath/bed a couple of times per week.  I think you just need to keep in mind that AP will want some later evenings free to see friends or just be in her room alone with Netflix.

For the troll...  yes, most families have both mom and dad who work full time...not sure what planet you live on if you don't think this is true.  You also have no idea what OP's personal situation is...maybe she wants extra evening help to allow her some 1:1 time with each child, maybe DH travels, maybe a million things that she doesn't need to explain to the "let's bash working moms" troll factory![/quote]
