[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are some ridiculous responses on this thread, OP. If there are several hours of downtime in the day, you should absolutely have the nanny do other things, as long as they are child related, and you do allow for a free hour for lunch and relaxation.

You should not be paying a nanny to do her homework. That's crazy.[/quote]

That is your opinion, and you're perfectly welcome to hire someone who agrees with you. I nanny while in school, specifically so that I CAN do homework during my down time. My employers know and respect this, and they know I do a great job when the kids are awake. I'm also not one of the nannies demanding $20/hour. I charge a reasonable rate, I do a great job with the kids, and I *gasp* do homework during nap, and no one has died![/quote]

I'm with you PP. I have always nannied while in school BECAUSE it affords me time to get my work done during my "off times" (which, let's be honest, are never set in stone and happen just as often as they don't).  Presumably, OP's nanny was in school when they hired her and it was clear from the get go that she would use some nap time to do school work.  Why begrudge her that now? 
If all of her other jobs are getting done, why the heck do ANY MB's care what their nanny is doing for 30/45 minutes while the kid naps. Your nanny knows when you are milking every penny out of her and aside from being petty, it's insulting. 
And seriously, OP, activity boards?[/quote]
