I am sorry to hear this. If they own their house, staying in their home and having a full time, live-in trained nanny an option, with possible relief help on weekend? The going rate for a certified nanny where I live, where wages are usually much higher than elsewhere in the country, is about $2,200/month. I had one for several years to take care of my kids, and there was no shortage of professional nannies with excellent credentials (mine was indeed a pediatric nurse back in the Philippines).
