[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks, all.  Keeping a nanny on for elementary school years sounds wonderful, though I was really hoping to reallocate the cost to private school, which we're considering.  Presumably at some point, though, the kids really do not need a nanny anymore. For those that still have nannies or have older kids, what do you think that age is? 10? 11? [/quote]

If you are planning to send your kids to private school, you will continue to need a nanny/other childcare unless you want your kids home alone on several days.

We have kids in private and there are half-days, breaks, and vacation during which there is no aftercare or other camp options. If you work from home and can watch your kids, you can make it happen, especially as they are older and can manage their own days. I would probably not feel comfortable leaving my child home all day until 12 or so, although obviously it depends on the maturity of the child.

Private schools are typically not friendly to families where both parents work FT and don’t have a nanny. [/quote]
