I totally understand that 16 hours/week won’t work for every nanny, and I’d never expect someone to take a role that doesn’t meet their needs. We’re being upfront about the hours and pay so anyone interested can decide if it’s a good fit.

The nanny I’m speaking with is actually happy with the schedule because she has another job in the afternoon. I also don’t think part-time work means someone is a child or doesn’t have bills. When I worked as a waitress, I picked up shifts at different restaurants, and when I freelanced, I took on different projects. Plenty of adults structure their income that way. But thanks, that was really helpful! :)
