[quote=Anonymous]Our nanny of 2 years just gave us notice (4 weeks and she is being flexible, which is nice).  I'm a little bitter about it b/c I feel that we've been overly accommodating toward her (she gets paid probably about 15 hours/week - at $20/hour - that she doesn't actually work).  She has also been in school (online) and we've let her study at our place without complaint (though it is clear that our kids are pretty much being ignored by her during those times).

Whatever - all in all, it is probably not a horrible thing that we are parting ways with her.

But now that we've been burned, I'm not sure whether to hire another nanny (we've only had nannies since my oldest was born 9 years ago) or go another route (SACC for 2 kids in elementary school and maybe a full time preschool for 4 yo?).  I am just having a hard time stomaching paying a nanny for full time hours (45+ hours) for 3 kids when she really only works around 30 hours/week during the school year.

But I also like the flexibility of a nanny, especially with all the snow days and 2 hour delays and vacations in Ffx Co. schools.

Has anybody gone through this and offer thoughts/experiences?

Thanks in advance.[/quote]
