[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How long did you keep your nanny? DH and I work out of the home. We have had the same live out nanny for 8+yrs. Son is currently in 5th grade and feels like he's too old for a nanny

She has been wonderful for my family. She drives, shops, cleans, runs errands and does laundry. DH works 4days/week so nanny only works 4 days but gets paid for 5. There are some weeks where I work late so nanny ends up working 3 days/week. Ive always been happy to pay her full salary but wondering when I should transition to son staying home alone. I know summers will be very difficult- keeping him in camps or such.

when did you let your nanny go?[/quote]

You son is 8.  It’s against the law for him to be left without supervision thus he is not too old for a nanny.  And you have no clue how hard it will be on you and your spouse for the constants school holidays and sick days.

But if you can’t afford her anymore, that’s a different subject.

My very cool and athletic boys, 9 and 12, love their nanny.  She is great and I pray never leaves us!  [/quote]

Depends on the state.  Some states have relaxed laws, some don’t set an age and leave it up to the parent to decide.

With that said, I’d suggest keeping the nanny for at least another year or two, just change the title.[/quote]
