[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi all! I have a 2 month old DC so we haven't even thought about school as yet. We are also new to the area so don't know much about what schools have to offer. I live on a street where all our neighbor s are fairly close. The kids play together and moms and nannies get to have a chat and coffee during this time. One of our neighbors has a nanny who
is so fabulous and kind hearted. She really is an all
Round good human being. She welcomes all the kids, plays with them even when she could let then play with each other. If anyone is sick she will cook meals in her house and drop it off. If we need to run and errand we can count on her to keep out kids for an hr or two. Nanny has a 3 yr old as well who is really smart and well mannered. She would have to enroll him in school soon and her neighborhood schools aren't great at all. I wanted to suggest to her to try to get a scholarship for her son to a private school but didn't know if that was actually possible at his age. She is a single mom who is also in school part time so I know she couldn't afford to pay any or half of tuition. I thought I would ask here before I even mentioned the possibility of this to her. Any insight? Thank you all in advance![/quote]

I can understand why you would want "help" your friend/neighbor/nanny. If you know the child well,and think the child would be a good fit for the school, perhaps write a rec for the child/mom. I know of private school parents who paid full tuition at 30K a year for the children of their " household staff" to attend private school as part of the nanny's employment package. Is your friend in a position to do this? If so, she should speak with the AD at your DC's school. If your friend is not in a position to  pay tuition for her nanny's kids as a condition of her employment, know that the nanny would have to apply for FA like everyone else, using the w-2 I assume your friend provides her with as her employer.  The previous two years w-2 and Fed taxes are the bulk of the FA application and many school verify them with the IRS, so before applying for FA are all the ducks in a row regarding her employers taxes and the nanny's taxes ( going back two years)

If no to above, perhaps try the charter schools, which are free and at which her employer may have a hook.[/quote]
