[quote=Anonymous]Our kids are in 4th grade and we still have a full-time nanny.

That said, the nanny we have now is not the same nanny we had for the first 4 years. When our first nanny left we decided to revise the job to a nanny/housekeeper position. So we hired someone with the intent that they would be with us for years, and that while the kids are in school they would clean the house, shop for groceries, run light errands, etc... And that the first priority was always childcare.

So we're many years into that relationship now (with the same person) and it generally works pretty well. And it's an absolute life-saver for the sudden illnesses, myriad school holidays or half-days, and for managing the driving of the after-school activities.

Having her was also the only way we survived the pandemic. There is no way that we could have managed our jobs and the online schooling and everything the kids needed w/o her help.

Our biggest expenses are the mortgage and the nanny. It's a huge luxury to be able to retain her and it's worth every penny.[/quote]
