Sa16 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Hi,I wondered if anyone had any experience with a childminder/ nanny who worked very irregular hours and/ or travelled with you for work (or other reasons). My freelance work is very irregular and involves occasional travelling (mostly within Britain and Ireland) - maybe once every month or two. I would quite like to start doing a bit more now my son is 16 months but I'd really like to avoid leaving him at home if I have to spend time away. I'm probably trying to (impossibly) have the best of both worlds but it would be great to hear if anyone has managed to work out unusual arrangements with a childminder. We've been very lucky to have family help so far but looking at further options now! By irregular hours I mean for example 1pm until 11.30pm.any suggestions very welcome! Thanks!

THEO313 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I don't see why that. Would be a problem as long as nanny knows and it's up to her before excepting such a job but would it just be for those occasions or regular days too?

Sa16 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 Hi, sorry for the late reply. It would be just those occasions, which adds to the difficulty I imagine as we wouldn't be able to offer any regularity.

Parkrunner Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Your best bet is probably to ask a nanny agency - they will see so many different types of child care arrangement requests and know which ones they tend to be able to fill and which ones not. We recently used Dulwich Childcare to find us an after-school nanny and they were fantastic.
