I just accepted a position like this 2 hours in the morning, 3 in the afternoon, and I am being paid as if I worked 30 hours. As people stated, offer the right pay, you'll find someone. I am a recent grad, this works out and allow me to intern during the day if needed.

I have that -it's called full time live in nanny.
Some days are harder than others - today she is taking one of my kids to half day camp and hanging out with him the rest of the day and picking up my other kid at camp later in the day and staying with them until I come home from work. During school she works morning and afternoons with breaks/cleaning/errands during the day and works full time with kids when they aren't scheduled. It's amazing but it's not part time.

We have a live-out PT nanny who covers the afternoons from 3-8 for one preschool, one elementary school child. In thinking over our childcare needs, having someone live in w to cover mornings 7-9 and occasional evenings out would be ideal. We have a private bed & bath to offer and live near a Metro station. If someone were available for the times we need, we could do either 25 or 30 hours per week.

We're looking into au pairs, too, but want to explore and compare different options.

Thanks for your perspectives.


Why do you need someone to live in to do 2 hours a day plus occasional babysitting? Are you expecting her to be home 24/7 to cover you incase you would otherwise need a babysitter? And part-time right so you want to pay her next to nothing?

If you live in a decent area and offer a good hourly rate, you should find a nanny.

You'd probably have to pay a lot since working a split shift like that would mean your nanny would have trouble finding a morning job.


+1. Are you also expecting her to be available during school hours in the case of holidays, teacher work days, or one of your children being sick? Just how private is her bedroom? Does it share a wall with either of the kids rooms? Is it on the same floor as the kids rooms? Will she have to use the main entrance of the home, and also share your kitchen? Most nannies I know who work a split schedule with one family (mornings and afternoons/evenings) is either A) paid for the full day regardless, so she can take care of household chores and be available if the kids have to stay home from school or B) is not considered on call in case the kids stay home, but has a much wider window in the middle (Working 6-8am and then 4-7pm, for example), so they are able to take a part time nanny gig to support themselves (working, say, 9am-3pm).

I'm a nanny, who has done split schedules before, and has also lived in before, and your job, as described, does not sound particularly appealing. I think you would need to guarantee at least 25 hours a week at at least $15/hr to find anyone worthwhile interested, and just consider the bedroom and bathroom the cost of hiring a split schedule nanny (and not paying her for the full day).


You would probably be a good candidate for an Au Pair. This flexibility is the whole reason most of us migrated there in the first place. It's really nice to be able to schedule care when you need it and not worry about having to change the schedule when school schedules change.

Seems like that could be a great deal for a college or graduate student. Free housing in exchange for some limited childcare...

I'd try posting on the job and housing boards of the universities.

If the price is right, you can always find someone.
