[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks a lot for posting your replies!  Very helpful for me.  Now, I just have one question as to when do you all have your lunch?  It's not anywhere in your schedule.  Our nanny puts the toddler to bed and then sticks the baby in the crib.  After that she sits down and eats her lunch for like an hour regardless of whether children are sleeping or not.  She says it is better for the baby this way since she is learning to fall a sleep on her own.  She also takes a break and has breakfast/tea at about 10 to 10:30.   Also, there is nothing in your schedules about the time you get read to start working or getting ready to leave.  When she gets to our house she would take about 15 minutes to get ready.  She changes her clothing, has her morning pills in the bathroom, etc.  Then she takes about 15 minutes before leaving to comb her hair, put make up on, put her nice clothes back on and so on.  Our schedule is similar to your schedule with the difference that there is less time spent playing with kids and more time on various nanny breaks/ctivities[/quote]

I don't usually say this but - troll! I can believe your nanny taking an hour lunch break, but also a half hour breakfast break? I definitely don't believe that she gets to your house for work, but has to change her clothes and take her pills? That is very odd. Why can't she do so at home? (If it's true.) Same with her getting ready to leave. [/quote]

My nanny is from a different culture.  She does change her clothes from whatever she had on to a t-shirt and house kind of pans.  There is a distinction between home and outside clothes for her.    She then changes into her outside outfit when she takes kids to the park.  I am not used to this but do not feel comfortable asking her quit doing it.  I wonder also whether nannies who do light housekeeping would do it in their "regular" clothes or they change.
She is also a vegetarian and has pretty specific diet.  She cooks for herself in my kitchen some time using heavy spices.   She ends up taking her time eating as she needs to eat a lot being a vegetarian and she believes in taking her time to it as it's good for one's health.  I am starting to feel that her desire to lead this healthy life style might interfering with my children's welfare and so I am just trying to figure out how it works for other people.   [/quote]
