Good luck :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-nannynannied#post-353141 Sun, 21 Oct 2012 21:40:20 +0000 MsMini 353141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks guys! I had initially ruled it out thinking no-one would be interested. I will see my new rotation soon and then once I know what I will need I will probably put out some feelers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-nannynannied#post-353139 Sun, 21 Oct 2012 21:35:05 +0000 skibobrown 353139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think so! My guess is, if you post an ad on care.com, you'll get more responses than you ever want to read... even though the hours will be a little weird. The hard part is choosing the right person from all of the choices! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-nannynannied#post-353062 Sun, 21 Oct 2012 20:29:41 +0000 mrs. bird 353062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you'd be able to find someone willing to work with you regarding the schedule! Especially if you're willing to work with them, like if you found a mom that could bring her LO with her. Some might want you to have a garunteed minimum each week, but you definitely should be able to find someone. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-nannynannied#post-352974 Sun, 21 Oct 2012 18:57:44 +0000 Mrs. Pen 352974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely would!!</p> <p>Actually, my sister just started nannying for a nurse and it's a crazy schedule but my sister doesn't mind. She has to get up at 4:45am (which kinda sucks lol), and then works a 8-10 hour day. She works 2x a week for 6 weeks, then has 6 weeks off... or something like that. idk, it's confusing and weird. But she doesn't mind it at all. </p> <p>And I would be willing to do it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-nannynannied#post-352958 Sun, 21 Oct 2012 18:44:40 +0000 Cole 352958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a nanny and I would absolutely consider that type of position. I have been in a place where I really only need part time work and am flexible on when, and right now one family I work with has a really flexible schedule so I would be able to make that work and put together full time. I also know a woman who is retired but likes the work and she would love a job like that. </p> <p>I think if you are willing to consider someone who would bring their child along you might get a better pool of applicants too.</p> <p>Good luck! I know it is a hard decision to make! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-nannynannied#post-352726 Sun, 21 Oct 2012 14:40:12 +0000 loveisstrange 352726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. You can pretty much work out any schedule you want with a nanny. I was a nanny in college. </p> <p>Nannies have a lot of advantages over daycare. One-on-one care, you can hand-pick who cares for your child, they care for them in your own home, etc... it goes on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-nannynannied#post-352715 Sun, 21 Oct 2012 14:31:30 +0000 MsMini 352715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a nurse, and I work part time on a 12 week rotation, both days and nights. I would only need about 8 days of childcare a month, but it isn't a consistent, always the same days of the week kind of thing. </p> <p>I know my schedule from here to eternity (LOL). Would you have considered nannying for someone where your days worked were kind of all over the place?</p> <p>We are looking at child care options for my return to work in April, and I wonder if this is something that might be worth looking into, since many daycares have only full time spaces, doing a part-time nanny might be the same cost, and nicer for me. </p>
