[quote=Anonymous]This is our first year of having after school nanny care, and we've had 2 after school nannies so far this year (plus a diff nanny last summer) and we're in the process of interviewing yet again.  We've hired wonderful young women with ambitions beyond nannying, which is part of what drew us to them.  Our kids have had educated and ambitious young women helping them with their homework and inspiring them in their extracurricular pursuits.  We've felt at times like we've had "grown" daughters whom we've helped guide in their life/career decisions.  Now we're wondering if we're going about this all wrong for our kids.  Should we look for an older woman who may not share our views of academic rigor etc. but will stay with us for a year or more?  Our kids are in the middle of elementary school, so we have along road ahead. We'd welcome perspectives from other parents who've navigated this. Do we keep playing the short game or do we play a longer game?  Is it even realistic that we can play a longer game if we're only offering 20 hours per week? Do you keep your PT nanny in the summer?  I'd like to do so for after-camp pick-up, but I don't want to pay for the several weeks in August when we do not need care. Tonight's?[/quote]
