Hey OP, I'm not sure where you're located but your best bet may be looking into an agency where they have nannies who specifically do temp work

Any luck, OP?

are you serious? The OP's child has developmental delays. He does not need a nanny who will "stand up" to him (and his mom). He needs a patient, caring, nanny with special needs experience.

OP.have you checked the American University Jobs Board? some grad students in education and special ed might be available. Maybe also call Lab and other schools to see if they know of former teachers or aides who might be available....

Don't you know boundaries are ESSENTIAL? Am currently working with a SN family, and have already eliminated about a dozen of the worst behaviors. Doormat adults are the source of many of these problems, in my extensive experience. Sorry.

NP here. Sounds like you have worked with one SN child and now know everything, grow up!

My, you sound angry about something. I'm sorry about that. What's really the most incredible thing about the family, is there are two well-connected physicians in the family, so they have easy access to the very best specialists. The child was seeing several of them when I arrived. I requested a recess from all specialists, to see if I could identify the core issues, and successfully address them. The worst behaviors started to disappear within days of intense work. The family continues to be in awe of my accomplishments. The required daily work is no piece of cake, but the results are quite satisfying.

Did you check local schools for a teacher on summer leave looking for extra money?

I'm a special needs nanny with a lot of experience and I likely wouldn't consider a job that only 6-8 weeks long. It's just not worth it for me to potentially pass up on a long term job just because I committed to something for 2 months. If I was unemployed it would likely make more sense to just keep looking. That might be an issue for you.

I don't know anything about your situation, I work a lot with children with aggressive behaviors and violent outbursts, usually older kids, so I often earn about $30 an hour but for a 4.5 year old I wouldn't at least consider something in the realm of $20 an hour depending on location and other factors.

Hope that was a little helpful.

Hello, I have several years of experience in the school system in metro area. I believe all children can learn ,. It woyld be a joy to help you in this temporary position.. 202- 705-9530 ms. Bena

I saw your post in the main forum, and I'm sorry that you are having a rough time. I would suggest looking for a college student that may be interested in gaining some special needs experience. A combination of factors is making your job difficult to fill, and it does not mean you or your child are terrible. Temp jobs are hard to fill, especially one ending in the middle of the summer, as are PT jobs, and SN jobs.

I'm seeking a part-time nanny to care for my 4.5yo son with developmental delays. The job is temporary - until the second week in July. Can anyone give me some advice about where to post the job, and a reasonable hourly rate? Thank you!!
