[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP have you considered having your nanny's full time hours later in the day?
Instead of having the nanny come in at 9 am to an empty house and filling the hours with chores, could your husband use extra help when he gets home--so your nanny stays on after he arrives?
I see that your kids are 12, 11, and 4--are the older kids in activities?   Do you ever have nights where each of the older kids has to be in a different place at the same time, and you have to juggle drop offs, pick ups, or carpools?
Does your 4 year old end up getting dragged out to all their events and you wish there was another an adult that could stay with him at home instead?
Maybe you could schedule the nanny to stay on later to help out with that.[/quote]

OP here. We do have evening stuff, and while theortetically extra help would be nice, it is do-able for DH and the little one likes tagging along. Also help around the house is a more important need for us, and I also want to have someone regularly scheduled so we don't have to scramble for school holidays / teacher work days, weather cancellations, summer of course, etc.[/quote]
