What type of childcare do i need? Help!

[Floandno]

Child minder, nanny, babysitter? Who do i need!?
I'm lucky enough to have been offered different hours at work that are a lot more convenient for our family.
I would be working 2-10pm two days a week meaning i would need someone to pick the boy up from school and keep him until about 6.30 when my bloke gets home from work.
We're looking for child minder close by, but unfortunately, none of them seem pick up from our son's school as it's about two miles away.
So that really leaves us with a nanny, but I'm unsure wether we could find one willing to work just those hours.
Any suggestions? Please!

Childminder sounds like what you need. Where did you find the ones that you've already spoken to? Have you tried the local council's Family Information Service, and childcare.co.uk?

Otherwise you could go for a nanny share.

I've tried all of the ones i've been given by both the family info service and childcare.co.uk (it was virtually the same list!), ones advertised in the post office and asked other parents at school. Really no luck. We actually take another little girl to her child minders once a week because there aren't any that pick up.

The problem is, we don't have a car, so need one fairly close. We don't really want him to have to be walking a long way/ taking the bus at 6.30 in the eve.
Nanny share sounds interesting, what does that entail? Would Nanny agency's be able to set that up for us? Thanks for the suggestion.

Someone else on here might have more info re Nanny share, but I'd have thought an agency could help :)
