[quote=Anonymous]What should I expect from my nanny? I would like her to write out sort of a schedule so I know that she is planning activites/exercises with my just turned 5 year old b/g twins.

For the record, she is live in and has them Monday, Thursday and Fridays from 7-7 each day. The other two days they are at pre-k full day. 
I want them to have fun but I also want her to spend some one on one time with them educational wise.

Is this a fair schedule?

7 am-8 am- breakfast/ quiet activity such as coloring or playing with toys
8-9:30- clean up, indoor activity such as creative play, arts and crafts, reading stories, playing games, etc. TV turned OFF!!! 
9:30-10 get ready for morning activity 
10-12: morning outdoor activity such as park, swimming, or just playing out in the backyard
12-12:30: lunch time 
12:30-2: "Rest time" such as reading books or coloring. Don't mind a 30 minute TV time while nanny cleans up lunch, and does a small chore such as folding childrens laundry and putting away.
2-4: educational activity such as counting, working on letters, shapes, numbers, etc. science projects or sensory play 
4 pm-5 pm play outside in backyard or go for a short walk with scooters and get energy out before night routine
5 pm: baths, jammies, start dinner or re heat leftovers, tv is fine to be on...
6 pm: get in bed, get books, read a book to each child and then let them read independently in bed before we get home and clean up dinner and from the day(clean up as you go during the day)

If you have any ideas on what would work better please i'd love to hear any ideas!!! I just dont want a nanny sitting in front of the tv while my kids color all day or whatever .i want them to learn something but have fun too!!!

Is this a reasonable expectation?[/quote]
