[quote=Anonymous]In your situation, OP, it really might make the most sense to invite your current part-time babysitter to just go full time. For one, you and the kids know and trust her. Presumably you also feel safe with her social distancing routine, if that's a concern for you. Both of those factors to me, at least, would count against trying to bring in a new person in instead. I agree with others that to get an experienced nanny who can handle educational aspects and is willing to take on what might be counted as "2.5" kids, one of whom is an infant, you would need to pay well over $20/hr and it might not be worth it since your 5 year old will be going to kindergarten in the fall anyway. And play is educational in its own right, especially at those young ages. As long as your current babysitting is playing with them and not sitting on her phone all day or what have you, letting them have a relaxed summer with her sounds like a good proposition.[/quote]
