[quote=Anonymous]The right help is key. In addition to day-to-day kid care/chores, our kids' nanny does their laundry, washes our sheets and towels, does the dishes, buys groceries, cooks dinners, and will tidy up toys/living room etc when need be.  DD (3.5 y.o.) is in half-time pre-school, and their nanny also does drop-off/pick-up. DS (10 mos) has some delays, and she also diligently does his PT exercises with him during the day.  We have bi-weekly house cleaning, which is enough to prevent total chaos...but our house is less neat than I'd prefer. She works 8-5:30/6:30 depending on the day.

In many ways, I would say their nanny takes on much of the role of a SAHP. Not everyone would be okay with that, but it works for us. We love her, and so do our kids.

It helps that my job is WAH and not much travel, but I don't think it makes a huge difference since their nanny does so much. The biggest benefit is not having to commute, which gives me time to work out while we have childcare.[/quote]
