[quote=Anonymous]All day is excessive, but most nannies do spend a chunk of time at the park each day. It's best for everyone, particularly once the morning nap is gone. Kids play, get exercise, fresh air, sunshine, social time with other kids. The nannies can talk to the other nannies.

Our previous nanny had the kids at the park from 10-12 every day. Our current nanny also prefers to do a picnic lunch at the park, so they're out from 10-12:30 or 1 each day.

There's a whole nanny social circle at the park. It's nice. When our nanny was sick and I would take the day off and take the kids to the park, all the other nannies and kids knew my kids. They spread out blankets, bring toys for the littler ones, and generally have a wonderful time.

For what it's worth, unless we have some other specific plan, we also take our kids to the park on weekends from 10-12. Who wants to sit all day in the house with toddlers?! And the kids play while I watch and play and chat with the other parents. Which is basically the same thing the nannies are doing. [/quote]
