We live in the North West. I am looking for a nanny for three of my children, two are at school full time and the other is at nursery for 5 half days a week. I work four days a week and these can be spread over mon-sun, however we would only require 4 days a week over mon-fri but the one day off may be different every week.
The hours would be 7.30-18.00, however the nanny would be free between 09.00 and 11.45 until september and then during the day after then, when all three are in full time school.
I have seen posts on here stating there is a lack of jobs around but would these hours be acceptable and how much would I expect to pay in my area?
Does anyone currently have a nanny who has so much free time during the day and how does this work?

I thought I probably would have to pay for those hours but wasn't sure if the overall hourly rate would drop if they had a long period of time when they had no direct responsibility for the children. I don't really have much that I would want/like the nanny to to in that time, maybe just make sure the children's tea is ready, however I am not specifically looking for someone who can cook, I am happy to leave all the prep done so they just "throw" it together. What is more inportant to me is that they fit in with our family values etc.
