[quote=Anonymous]Our nanny expressed to me that she is bored when the kids are in school.  She will run errands (dry cleaning, groceries), do meal prep, and laundry, but by the end of the week, she is done with those things and has nothing to do.  She already has organized the kids toys/clothing, etc.  While there are certainly lots of things that I need to do around the house (like cleaning out the garage, planting bulbs, ironing), there aren't additional items that are appropriately within the job description.  (And even if I extended the job description, I'm certainly not going to ask her to clean out the garage, nor would she want to do so).  I've suggested bringing a book, ipad, etc., but she does not want to do so; our nanny is an awesome, active woman who does not like to be idle.

What do other people do in this situation?  I cannot cut back on the hours, because I will lose her and because there are enough sick days, vacations, etc. when I still want/need help full-time.

Suggestions?  I'm not sure what I'm seeking suggestions about - whether it's additional items that she might do around the house to help, how to keep her happy; I'm open at this point.  [/quote]
