[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you for the feedback ... My question is, what IS the way to keep our nanny? If we kept her in the afternoons, for example, is there such a thing as random backup care for the mornings when there's no preschool?[/quote]

The only option is to keep her at close to her regular hours and have her do all child-related chores while the kids are in preschool.  That way her time can be devoted to them full-time when she is with them in the afternoons.

Our nanny also offered us weekend/night babysitting hours to cover some of the lost morning hours.

With two kids, first starting preschool, you cannot imagine how many times they will be out sick with colds and fevers.  It would be a foolish economy in my book to let the nanny go now and have to scramble the 12 times a school year (6 times per kid on average) one of your kids is sick or just has a fever and cannot return to school until 24 hours past when the fever is gone.  And wait until you and DH start getting everything they bring home!  [/quote]
