There are 5 or six that come for 12 hours a day either in one shift or 2 6 hours. The problem of hiring individuals is that if they cancel - I'm stuck. I tried it 4 years ago for about 6 months. It was ok at first but then they all started fighting over who was going to get which shifts and it ended up a mess.
I may have to rethink getting a nanny again.
I checked what I wrote about. THey actually are charging us an additional 13% not 7%. and mileage twice a day if they do 2 shifts. That's an additional $28 a day. According to the government agency who pays for a couple of their hours per day - they can't charge me for that mileage but they do it anyway.
Trouble is - they're the only game in town who can handle his complex needs so I am basically stuck.
Josh thinks we should continue with them for the time being but start interviewing any and all other options and dump them like hot potatoes as soon as we can figure out Plan B.
