[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my kids were your kids' ages we had a full-time nanny who did all kid laundry and kept the kids' rooms and playroom tidy and organized.

My kids are older and we no longer have a nanny.  We now have a "housekeeper" for 10 hours a week.  In those 10 hours she does all kid laundry, drives my kids to some activities, cooks us 1-2 nights' dinners, and does random tasks as they come up like rotating kids' closets seasonally.  She is very expensive, but worth every single penny!!!!  (We also have a cleaning lady who comes every two weeks and she does our linens and every other week's worth of towels.)

I personally like having the help with the chores rather than babysitting.  [/quote]

Not OP but considering something like this. Did you continue to pay her nanny rates, or would you mind sharing her hourly rate?[/quote]

Sorry if I wasn't clear...our housekeeper is not our old nanny -- it's a different person.  The going rate for a part-time housekeeper is much higher than a nanny.  We pay her $35 an hour.  And most housekeepers don't do any kid stuff, but she was willing to do take my older DD to an activity 2x a week because it is a very quick drive.  (My younger DD is at full-time pre-k while the housekeeper is there.)[/quote]
