[quote=Anonymous]I'm a single adoptive mom and had a live in nanny who then became our housekeeper/cook once my child was school age and then fewer hours, but still housekeeping during high school years.  She came in AM and helped with morning routine.  I mostly did drop off, but for a few years she drove car pool.  She had her own schedule for the weekly routine of house cleaning and laundry and it always worked well. She did food shopping and prepped vegetables, etc. but I mostly did the actual cooking for the evening meals, but when there was enough time she prepared the full mean in advance. My DD had many appointments and she took her to the routine ones. When I traveled for work, she stayed over. She was normally less than full time for our family because she had a few other families in the neighborhood who she did some part time nanny or light cleaning work.  She was really gifted with and loved infants/toddlers, so wanted to have a part time nanny job to keep that as a part of her work life, but also wanted to stay with us.  If worked out perfectly and I could not have been a working mom without her.  It was always a huge financial stretch, but it was essential.  Highly recommend if you can find the right person and afford. [/quote]
