Gauging interest in childcare option (term-time, 10:00-14:30 Mon-Fri) - suit freelancers?

We are trying to find ways that we can keep our AMAZING nanny on from September 2018 when all 3 of our children will be in school full-time.

Our nanny has been with us for over 4 years and is seriously the best nanny out there - other parents and teachers at our children's school comment on how amazing she is.

I am wondering if anyone would theoretically be interested in a nanny-share from 10:00 to 14:30 Mon-Fri during term-time? Could be at our house or yours, if it was easy enough for our nanny to then collect our children from school by 15:20 (we live near Dulwich Library and our children's school is near Honor Oak).

Keen to understand if there is any market out there for this kind of arrangement!

I would be, although i'm not sure geography would work (we live in telegraph hill).

How much would you be asking for the 10-1430 period for a single child?

Thanks! Geography will probably be a pretty important consideration because our nanny doesn't drive.

In terms of cost, we hadn't worked it out exactly. A sole charge full-time nanny usually costs around ?14-?15/hour including taxes. I imagined this arrangement coming in a bit less due to the limitations on hours. So perhaps in the region of ?12/hour?

We could also be a bit flexible, if there were occasional days when care needed to extend beyond those hours as our nanny could probably juggle our 3 (school age) plus one other in a pinch. And similarly for occasional extra hours in school holidays.
