[quote=Anonymous]We would love her to and she sometimes does, but she isn’t terribly interested and I do think it burns her out. She has her own family and home she needs to take care of and nannying is physically taxing. We do offer that if she will watch them on weekends, we will bring the kids to her house and pick them up. She seems to find that a bit easier and the kids really enjoy it. She has kids too and they all play together (though hers are much older than mine). We pay her at least 1.5 or double for weekend hours. One piece of advise though-the biggest drawback to having a nanny as opposed to daycare is you’re building all your childcare infrastructure around a single person. And people get sick, have lives, etc. I would encourage you to work on building up a network of back up sitters, and weekend care can be a great way to do that.[/quote]
