[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you can afford it, having a full-time nanny is still awesome.  As you say there are SO many days off: holidays, teacher workdays, sick days, etc. Would she be able to switch to being more of a house manager at other times?  Someone to make meals for the kids, buy stuff for school projects, swap out the old clothes, etc?  That's the dream
We switched to an au pair for a few years, which was good (but has its downsides).  As the kids get older they need a "driver" more than a babysitter.  But lots of families organize carpools too.

If you can afford it, 100% keep her. That's what we did and I've never once regretted it. In fact, I count my blessings every snow day, sick day and teacher work day. Plus I don't want to spend my weekends at Target and the grocery store or doing laundry. She makes our house run and gives me the ability to recharge on weekends so I can have my career. [/quote]

Nanny here- I’m so happy you can relax on weekends! I really think great nannies have a service heart and devote themselves to a family. My job is to make my bosses lives easier, and I’m paid extremely well to have a ‘no job too big, too small’ attitude. [/quote]
