Nanny from 6.30am to get DS out of bed?

get ready for school, take him to school 5 miles away, pick him up at 3 and then stay with him until I get home at 6pm, or take him swimming lesson etc.
So nanny would actually work 6.30-9 and then 3-6. Don't need them during the day
Would I just pay them for those hours, or work out some other payment plan?
Will someone actually want to do this?
Help please? All new to me!

I think you're going to need to pay the nanny full time for those hours. Particularly if you want the nanny to be 'on call' during the day e.g. if DS is sick, the school shuts unexpectedly, there is a teachers' strike

If you want to keep the cost down you could look at a NWOC or a nanny share.
