[quote=Anonymous]A couple of things to think about before you decide if you need a full time or part time nanny.  
  Who will take care of your child when they are sick, there is no school, or there are snow days?  Some preschools have a lot of days off (Jewish nursery schools for example) and you have to think about coverage for those days.  And what about field trips or special days at school?  If you can't participate, would you want your nanny to go in your place?   As a former preschool teacher, children do notice when they do not have anyone there for them.  
  While the child is at school, the nanny could be doing the child's laundry, grocery shopping and running errands for the family, making snacks and meals for the child for that day or the next, cleaning toys, organizing children's clothes and toys, planning activities for the child.  
  Yes, there will be times when the nanny will have some free time for herself in the mornings, but I would prefer having someone there for those times when you need her instead of having to scramble for childcare when your little one needs to come home because the school sent them home due to illness.[/quote]
