A really good friend of mine is in the army and is going to be getting custody of his son. He is no longer deployable due to a medical issue. He works as a dispatcher so when he is working and sleeping he needs someone to take care of the baby. Because he is a dispatcher he works swing shift so when he is working night shift he obviously sleeps during the day and needs someone to care for his child. His mother asked me to find out about the possibility of a live in nanny before she mentions anything to him about it. He lives in on base housing and i cant seem to find any information anywhere on if it would be allowed. And if it is allowed what are the regulations, is there any assistance such as does he pay or does the army, what would the round about pay be if he did have to pay out of pocket, and would he be able to choose his own nanny or would the army assign one, what qualifications does the nanny need, and because he is male will it have to be a male nanny? He does currently live in a 3 bedroom home (on base) so the nanny would have his or her own room. There is someone from his home town who is willing to move down there and take the job. The baby already knows this person, is experienced in childcare, knows this child’s needs (allergies, diet, sleep and eating schedule, etc.), and is trusted by the entire family. Actually she almost is family, thats just how close she is to the entire family. Any information would be very helpful. Thank you!
