[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't do it. She may have to leave to take care of parents in their 80's or 90's, she may fall and break a hip running after your kids on an icy sidewalk or a loose acorn, etc. We hired someone in their early 20's and have had them for almost 8 years.[/quote] Anyone would have to take leave for that. Hip break? My 68 year old neighbor broke her leg when a dog knocked her over on a stair and she twisted while falling. She wore a leg brace and continued with PT for 6 weeks and she's fine. No surgery! She was not laid up at all exceot for maybe the first week. Both of my 30 some neighbors have serious pelvic, spine, and neck issues that have been going on for YEARS despite surgery, PT, and repeated care and treatment. One has her MOTHER come frequently to help with household tasks and kids. They were into sports in high school and college. Lady with a broken leg? She walked their dog...while having the broken leg.
