While kids are at preschool

[Anonymous]

If your youngest is now in preschool, consider the following:
-kids' dinner ahead (just prep, or cook ahead)
-kids' breakfast ahead (bake quiche, frittata, baked French toast, bread, depends on her abilities and inclination)
-dishes from kids' breakfast and any cooking she does
-all kids' laundry (I highly recommend having the nanny get kids used to helping sort/start before drop off, then folding with kids after pick up before they put them away)
-purging outgrown clothes, sorting out stained/torn for play clothes
-switching out kids' clothes by seasons
-cleaning and packing old toys for consignment/donation
-research kids' crafts
-tracking, ordering, purchasing in store, putting away kids' supplies: toiletries, school, crafting, snacks, presents for kids' parties, etc
-spreadsheet for afterschool activities with price, location, type, age, link
-spreadsheet of kids' camps with registration deadline, price, type, age, location, link
-spreadsheet of kids' party ideas, locations, pricing, group size, type, link
-book kids' birthday parties, camps, afterschool activities after parents decide

Anything that is solely for kids is within nanny purview, and with extra time, any or all of the above may be done as her time permits.
If you decide to have her do anything for the parents or household? Pay extra.

Pay her half the amt for those 2 hours (assuming you pay her hourly), so you still retain her as a nanny, but it might sit a bit better with you since she's not working.

Can you let her leave an hour earlier each day?

OP is talking about two "unused" hours while the child is in preschool... that has nothing to do with nanny leaving earlier in the evening.
