I've been looking with no success so far...everyone I speak to wants a longer commitment. I'm in the Bay Area, and there are tons of jobs...just not a lot that will be happy with only 5 months availability.

I tried to sign up for some on call nanny agencies, but apparently in California I have to be on the Trustline registry in order to work as an on call nanny for an actual agency, and it takes months to be registered. Ugh.

Maybe try to find a nanny who needs to take a maternity leave, and fill in for the duration?

This is me - you can message me here if that's easier.

Thank you for posting but unfortunately I'm not in the DC area at all I hope you find someone; sounds like it would be a good gig for someone temporarily!

I concur.

A summer nanny would be ideal if it's not too late to secure a position.

Then afterward, probably a temp nanny until the holidays perhaps.

Keeping my fingers crossed you find what you are looking for! Good luck.

Summer nanny and then maybe a temp nanny with an agency?

Summer nanny!

The family I've been with for almost a year is moving out of the area next month, leaving me without a job. Normally I would look for another position, no problem! Butttt my husband and I are moving at the end of the year, and when I tell potential families this, they so far have been worried about not having me be long-term (which I do understand). My question: what would you do in this situation? They all ask if I'm planning on being around at least for the next year, and I won't lie. So do I have any other options here?
