[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a nanny of 15 years and I prefer to have part-time jobs! For several years I worked in a daycare in the mornings and had school-aged kids in the afternoon, and for a couple of years I worked two full days at the daycare and 3 full days with a family who had similar needs as OP.

I don't think it's you, OP, those nannies are literally either not showing up or sleeping on the job. Part-time or not, that's unacceptable. From what you're saying I'm not getting the idea that they're feeling micromanaged. When you're being micromanaged you don't exactly have time for naps on the clock.

I think you maybe need to up your interview game: focus on the fact that you work from home, what the nanny sees as challenges in this situation, what she would do in specific situations, how she likes to communicate, etc. I'd personally be very happy with your job (though I can't comment on the salary as I'm not in the US) so I'm sure there is somebody out there for you.

Good luck![/quote]

I am 9:52 and you are proving my point because you would fall in the third category I mentioned: nannies who have something else going on and a part-time job fits like the perfect puzzle piece.  But if you after-school family canceled on you, you would need to find a new job that either fits that slot perfectly or one full-time job or find two new jobs, etc.  For a family like OP that is looking for most of the fay four days per week, there will be a limited number of nannies who need that specific schedule.
