[quote=Anonymous]I have 4 kids, and my job has kind of imploded during covid.  I get where you are coming from.

Personally, I don't think you need the nanny.  A 4 yo should be in preschool for at least part of the day -- he/she is going to be in kindergarten next year and it is important to get them used to being in a classroom outside of your house.  Unless you already have a nanny, it seems like a lot of hassle, and I would just focus on getting your eldest into preschool.  You can make friends through the preschool then too.  You're basically going to be working really closely with the nanny, so make sure you like him/her if you do get one.

Next year your two year old will be old enough for preschool too and your eldest will be in k.  At that point, you really don't need a nanny.  The whole nanny thing is really just for the next year, after that its just you and one kid home.

I think another poster said this, but remember your kids are young for such a short time.  I have a three year old, and my eldest is twelve.  I remember wishing for the next thing all the time with my eldest, and with my youngest, I keep wishing to just freeze time.  I didn't appreciate how short the time they really need and want you around all the time was with my older kids, so really enjoy being with them because before you know it they will be rolling their eyes and glued to their phones.   Do what is best for you.  [/quote]
