[quote=Anonymous]I have three kids (now 9, 7, and 4), and I have never had a nanny or wanted one. Husbands job is very inflexible (four days off a year and no ability to duck out), while mine is flexible but demanding. We use full time preschool/daycare for youngest and school/aftercare for the older two. Aftercare is open whenever school is closed, so on the random days off the big kids go there. Summer we do camps with after care. You have to manage a nanny. Hire her, train her, handle her vacation, etc. Then she may well leave for reasons you can’t control and you have to start over. I didnt want that mess and would rather have that money to spend on fun things since I think the cheaper alternatives are both better and easier. [/quote]
