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.

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?

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.
