[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We still have our nanny full time even though our kids are in elementary school.  If we didn’t have Nanny our kids couldn’t do sports or piano lessons and would get stuck in aftercare.  Also, nanny covers all sick days and school holidays as well as summer break.  Our nanny was an elementary school teacher so she handles homework and tutoring too.  Her hours shifted to noon to 6:30 plus a weekend date night.  She now handles all the grocery shopping, ordering supplies, keeping kids schedules and payments for lessons, pays the weekly housekeeper, empties the dishwasher, prepares the kids lunches and bakes healthy snacks for them.  She still does their laundry, linens and towels and cleans their rooms.

Every night, I come home to two kids whose homework is done (and in their backpacks) and piano practice out of the way.

An example of what nanny does for us:  I freaked out on Friday night because I forgot my youngest had a close friend’s ice skating birthday party at 10AM the next day.  Nanny said, “oh, I know - her gift is wrapped on the dining room table and Larla made her a beautiful birthday card.  And her skates from last year were too small so [older kid’s] skates are cleaned and sharpened in the garage.  I tucked her skating socks inside”.

Am I freaking lucky or what!! [/quote]

I think you would be surprised how much we sacrifice for this.  It’s not unfair; it is choices.  [/quote]
