[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't need our nanny to work with us, but it makes life less complicated and much more pleasant. We have two children, my husband travels a lot for work, I take care of my father who lives nearby, and I travel along with my husband a fair amount as well. Our children's nanny is with us half time, which allows me reliable time for appointments and meetings. I am guessing I am more engaged and outside activities than many stay-at-home parents. I am on the governing board of our children's school, am on the working boards of two non-profits, and am on two additional boards that require little more than a few meetings per year.  I commit time to these organizations both because I feel it is a valuable use of my time and skills, and because it keeps me connected with professional contacts. By way of example, I am now on the boards of two former clients. So, having extra help with the kids, whether to help driving, or to allow me to attend a school or other event easily, is worth it. Also, our nanny has been with us since our first child was born. She is terrific, and adds great value to our lives.  It's a good arrangement that works well for us all.[/quote]

I have thought about trying to join the governing board of my child's school but I've heard you have to donate a considerable amount to the school to be on the board. How much on average do you or others on the board donate? How much do you think is expected of board members?[/quote]
