[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We faced this decision and ended up hiring a nanny/housekeeper once our kids were in school full-time. She does all of the errands, groceries, etc... and also cleans the house for us. It's a huge indulgence/luxury but it's also a lifesaver on days when a kid is sick or a parent is travelling. [/quote] Do you pay her full-time? We had been paying our nanny full-time because we previously needed full-time care and understandably she could not begin working part-time once the kids entered full-day school so we kept her on full-time because it wasn't fair to cut her pay. However, starting over with someone else I'm wondering if we need to do the same. The issue remains that most people can't live on a part-time salary, which I totally understand. I guess I'm just having a hard time thinking of starting there with someone new. Our nanny makes a lot right now, which she deserves, but it hurts less because it's her, if that makes sense. [/quote]
