[quote=Anonymous]Nanny here. For several families in the past, I have work 60 to 70 hours each week and handled all kid related shopping, cooking, laundry, cleaning, etc.   I also handled all scheduling of classes, appointments, therapies, etc.  I would get kids up and dressed in the morning and they would have a quick visit/breakfast with mom and dad, then mom and dad would walk in at the end of the night two kids dressed and ready for bed, house tidy and dinner on the table,  so that the brief window of time they were home was spent eating family dinner and tucking kids into bed.

When weekend nannies were required, I found, hired and trained them to specifications.   When I had a vacation coming up, I found my replacement,  prepared things like meals and laying out outfits for the week I would be gone and  trained the temp nanny. I was responsible for every single logistical thing related to the children and anyway, which meant that the parents time with the kids, which was so limited was exclusively spent playing relaxing and bonding with their kids.

It takes a very self-aware and emotionally mature parent to work within this arrangement, because they truly handover a lot of control. But if you think your sister-in-law would be able to do it emotionally and financially, she could basically hire herself a June Cleaver,   Which sounds like it would be the best thing given her demanding schedule .[/quote]
