just want to pick your brains

would you consider a 2 day set up, term time only? think we need to move from childminder to nanny for lots of reasons, but I am a teacher and would want that time with the girls. Or do most nannies prefer full time all year (obv with holidays etc etc)

need to crunch the numbers.

thanks for anything you can let me know

Hi

I am a nanny and yes, i would do this. Where abouts are you based?

I would share with somebody who wanted a nanny term time only as I need a nanny holidays only as work school hours

never thought about that kind of sharing schmoopoo - always thought a nannyshare was adding your kids to another families and have 1 nanny look after them. need to look at this properly

I'm a nanny with my own child and would love a job term time only!

nannyL · 15/04/2008 17:43

i know a few nannies who do this

one is paid full time and gets lots of holiday

another had to take all her hol in school hols and recieved her pay over 12 months so got the same amount of £ each month

personally unless i was paid full time i wouldnt do it, but it would especially appeal to nannies with children IMO..

so they the school hols with their own chidlren

I work term time only and get paid the same amount each month.It is only a four day week job which is great as gives me that free day to catch up on house chours.

I have one son 5 so it works out really well plus there is always temp work in the summer.

Any nannies with children would jump at the chance of term time,hope you find what your looking for.

thanks everyone for your replies, I need to get on the phone now and make enquiries

another little question for those with children of their own - if you start work at 730, where do your own children go??
ideally I'd want someone at the house by then

I start work at 7 and my son comes with me,i drop him off at school[10mins away]have 6hours to do clubs etc with my charges.
We sometimes have to pick him up but some days i finish before school ends.

I was looking for a job for a while and in this time had many interviews to look after babies.But most parents did not want thier child travling to and from school.
This is something that needs to be thought about,e.g how far school is,how many times aday,any clubs thier child does,will your child have to wait at club.

ah nannydonna, I have 3 kids, in sept they will be 7, 3, and 2 so I will have lots of drop offs (school and preschool) and other things going on for my kids that the nanny would be doing.

thanks for all comments guys
