[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a nanny for school aged children. I’ve been with the family since both kids were born 9 years ago. Most of my nanny friends were let go when the kids went to kindergarten. My family chose to continue to keep me on and pay me full time to be on call, because they don’t have the kinds of jobs where they can just stay home for sick days, days off school, breaks........ or a pandemic.

I’m a former teacher and now I homeschool the kids, while the parents work from home. Things are running pretty smooth.

I don’t understand why wealthy parents who can afford to continue paying, choose to dump their nannies when the kids go off to school. I’m hoping that something like this will make parents realise how important it is to keep your nanny, if you can afford to do so. . [/quote]

You’re like the SAHM who say they’re even *more* needed now because of sick days and snow days  :)

In early elementary it’s nice for a child to be able to come home from school and play at home or on the playground. But they don’t need a former teacher to facilitate that, any reasonably intelligent adult is fine. And by upper elementary they are mostly in activities so all they really need is a driver. The only families who really need a highly educated nanny are those that work crazy hours and need the nanny to be the parent. I do not aspire to be one of them.[/quote]
