[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’re in an apartment and our nanny has been a godsend.  She keeps DS occupied and on a schedule.  Every day they go out from 8:30 to 11.  Nanny brings a different activity for him to do in the park.  We know we will not be interrupted during this time and schedule accordingly.  They come back after 11 and have lunch which also occupies DS.  Then DH and I accept our child will want us and might interrupt us until nap at 12:30.  We, again, can count on the next two hours of uninterrupted work.  Snack and play or walk outside until 4:30 when nanny leaves.

It also help that we all get along so well and respect each other.  Nanny made it clear that she will never pull DS away from us so if we had a vital call, we should go into the bathroom! [/quote]

NP here. What do you do when it rains or is 100 degrees outside? Also, what age is your son?

Trying to figure out if this would work for us. We are in a two bedroom without an additional office, and have been putting off even attempting to bring someone in because the thought of another human in here all day sounds heinous. I love the idea of someone who would take our daughter out daily (both for the quiet work time at home and because honestly she would love it). But it just feels unlikely that they will be able to do this every single day.

Also, what does your nanny do while your son naps? Again, for us, it's just a question of where this extra person is. I'm trying to imagine trying to get work done while sharing our bedroom with my husband and a nanny hanging out in the kitchen while our daughter sleeps in her room... just sounds like a lot.[/quote]

Since covid and us being home, our nanny sits and reads while DS naps.  She used to cook for him at naptime but it was too disruptive to DH and me.

We’re in Southern California where it doesn’t rain in the summer and is always nice enough in the morning to be outside.  [/quote]

Nanny can take your child to a park with a pavilion.  They can dance/play in the rain.  Your child can be dressed appropriately and warm enough.  The only times I keep kids in are when there’s lightning or when it’s below 0.[/quote]
