[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see his point [b]because aside from the coverage you don’t seem to be getting a lot of value for your money. [/b] That said, it seems like you really do need the coverage.

I would switch to a different caregiver that takes on more of a family manager role.  If you are paying for full-time care, I would want someone who unloads the dishwasher and packs lunches and does all the kids’ laundry and picks up drycleaning and goes grocery shopping...etc.  [/quote]

Sweet heaven.

She has THREE CHILDREN.  There is ALWAYS 
one child sick or getting over being sick who has to stay home
a teacher professional dev. day 
snow day
holiday from school - yom kippur, veteran's day, memorial day, columbus day, MLK day, presidents day, a week off in spring (TWO if you lived in DC), about 8 or 9 days for winter break, then all summer
getting 3 kids out the door by 7am BY HERSELF.
summer -  3 kids in camp is a LOT of money.

Keep your nanny.  Pay her what you need to, and have the preschooler go 3 mornings/week.  Many children do it, and the benefit to your entire family will be huge.  Or at least to YOU, personally, and since YOU do all the extra kid/household stuff then it matters to YOU.  You get 5 votes, your husband gets 1 vote.
