[quote=Anonymous]My 3.5 year old just started a 5 day a week preschool program from 9am-1pm. DH and I both work full time, so we have a nanny who drops her at school, picks her up and then stays until early evening when we get home. We don't yet have a second child and not sure if we will, and truly love our nanny so we want her to stay with us and be happy, of course.

Just curious to know - do most people just keep their nanny full time in this situation? We don't love paying her for 4 hrs each day that she isn't really working but mostly I am worried she will be bored over time and want a job with more child interaction, especially since DD's school days will continue to get even longer. She has offered to help with house work, cooking, etc. but that doesn't even fill up all of her time.

Some friends just have afternoon sitters, but that really isn't ideal for us because we don't have a ton of flexibility and there are a ton of holidays, parent teacher conference days, sick days, etc.

For any nannies on here - would you stay in a situation like this assuming you're getting paid fairly, or does it get old at some point?[/quote]
