[quote=Anonymous]I take the Friday off when she arrives, let her settle in Friday and Saturday morning (usually make a nice dinner and a family breakfast), then plan something fun for Saturday afternoon. Let her watch you with the kids those two days, show her where basic stuff is, maybe take her to Target if she needs to pick anything up. Then Sunday, start the real training. I take off Monday to do the weekday routine with her. Then it sort of depends in what you need her for. If you have her driving, she won't be ready for a week or a few, so you'll have to plan to drive the kids yourself in the beginning. But if you just have her home with the kids, then she should be able to do at least most of the day by Tuesday. I usually try to work at home some that first week so I'm around if she needs me. Best not to coddle her too much in the beginning though - the only way for her to learn is to get in there and get started. [/quote]
