[quote=Anonymous]We love our nanny, pay her well, and are very happy with her performance.  We've employed her for a year and hope to keep her until our kid starts school (and longer, if we decide to have another).  However, we're starting to think just a little about starting our child in a part-time play school program a few mornings a week, not this fall but the next (still a long way off, I realize).  What I don't know is how this works from our employment perspective.  If we enroll our child in this program, our nanny will suddenly have 8-12 hours a week of her work time where she is not caring for our child.  I think it is unreasonable to cut her pay or her hours, at the same time, I wonder about paying for this playschool [i]and[/i] our nanny's free-time.  Would it be reasonable to ask our nanny to do other things to help our family during that paid time she isn't with our child, like light housekeeping/grocery shopping/etc.?  (Our nanny currently does not do housework, other than keeping up with the dishes she and our kid make during the day and picking up toys.)  How have other folks handled this situation?[/quote]
