[quote=Anonymous][quote]- Hire someone who gets both of the kids at preschool (us and neighbor) at 1pm and is home when both kids K and 1st grade get off the bus (seems like a lot for one person to have 4 kids + put the two preschoolers down for a nap and get them up before 3pm).[/quote]
I'd try this option.  I don't think four kids for a couple of hours is too much.  She can pick up the little ones at 1 PM, take them home for a nap, then meet the older ones.  Everyone has a snack and then plays until parents pick up/get home between 5-6 PM.  It's really only a short time with four kids and the older ones are big enough to walk safely and not run into the street.  The little ones can be belted into a double stroller, if needed.  If the hosting family gets home first, she can just move to the other apartment with the other two kids.

In a few years you may want your own nanny so your older one can go to after school activities, but I'd share a nanny for now.  She'll make more in pay for fewer hours and that will help make up for the shorter day.[/quote]
