[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure the issue but I strongly disagree  - having a nanny is a lot less work - less driving kids around, more flexibility (which you pay for but still) for days off etc.

And having someone that can juggle all 3 kids when school is out is amazing.

I don’t think op can find an amazing nanny to juggle 3 kids when school is out at the rate she mentioned [/quote]

Agree, and the amount of time the nanny would have with all 3 kids would be significant.   Someone (OP?) upthread mentioned "Even if older kids are in school until 3:15?"
OP didn't say what time the nanny's workday would end, just that the workweek would be 45 hours.  Assuming each day is equal (9 hours) and it ends at 5 pm, that is still 1.75 hours each day of 3 kids--just under 20% of each day.  Obviously if the nanny's day ends at 5:30 or 6 it's an even greater percentage.

DC public schools have many "no school" days that are not standard holidays, so all 3 kids would be home.

Not to mention unexpected days off for weather[/quote]
