[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are about to sign our yearly contract with our nanny.  Beginning in January, she will have two days where both kids are in preschool at the same time, leaving her with about 5 hours of downtime total.  How do others handle this situation?  We need her for preschool dropoff so we can't just adjust her hours to make them later on those two days.  Ideally, she'd maybe do some pickup and some adult laundry (she only does kids laundry right now).  Meal prep is off the table (she can't cook).  Or do we just give her those 5 hours to do whatever she wants?  That doesn't seem entirely useful or fair.  I'd like to find some suggestions that have worked for both parties so we can offer them to her and get her feedback.  Thanks![/quote]

You want her for those specific times, so it isn't her fault thst it is
Down time.  Why should you insult her by demanding that she wash your dirty underwear?  You will need her for those five hours when kid is sick, school closed, snow days.  She is a nanny not a jack of all trades.[/quote]
