[quote=Anonymous]Our nanny has been with us about a month now.  She started right after the school year ended.  I have 3 DCs, the oldest is 4.  DC#1 and #2 are going to camp at the place they will be going to school in the fall.  I know it is difficult for the nanny to have to take all 3 children with her to take DC1 and 2 to camp.  There is no drop off/pick up carpool line so she has to take all 3 out of the car, get them through the parking lot, open the locked door (unless someone else is coming in or out at the same time) and go up a set of stairs.  Our previous nanny used to use a carrier for DC3 but this nanny wasn't comfortable with that.  She tried using a double stroller for the baby and DC#2 but it's hard to get the school door open while pushing the stroller and she has to take them out then to go up the stairs.  Anyway, between my work schedule and my parents help most weeks the nanny only has to take them and pick them up with DC#3 in tow 1 or 2 days a week.  This week, unfortunately, is a bad combination of a busy work week for me plus my parents are out of town so the nanny has to take them everyday herself (except for Friday when she has the day off with pay).  Yesterday I asked her how it was and she seemed tired and said it was difficult but she managed. I have assured her that other weeks when I am busy at work my parents will be here to help out.  Does anyone have any suggestions for how I can help her get through this week?  I could ask her if she wants my grandmother (who lives nearby) to go with her in the car so the she can wait in the car with the baby.  That is what I have done when I had to do it myself.  She likes my grandmother so I don't think she'd mind her company.  Or should I just let it go and assume she's ok since it's just this week.  I don't want her to get burned out. [/quote]
