[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I kept our nanny when I stopped working. I know this is a luxury.

I would leave baby with nanny while I took kids to school. She would do housework (cook, clean, laundry) when I played with the baby. I would leave the baby with nanny and take older kkd(s) to activities.

When Covid happened. We let the nanny go.[/quote]

Would love to do this but financially it would be a strain for us if I’m not working. [/quote]

Pp here. I tried to put my older kids in the same activities but even if they were in the same activity, their age gap often put them in different times. My boys played soccer and swim and tennis when they were younger. They were on different soccer teams with different practice times and games. For swim, they were also in different skill levels. In elementary, I was able to put them at the same tennis location even with different levels.

Summer camps I tried to put them at the same location. One year after I got rid of the nanny, the older kids were in camps far from one another and I would never do that again. Rush hour plus 20+ miles with a toddler not fun.[/quote]
