[quote=Anonymous]We have had this discussion many times.  Our youngest will go into kindergarten in 2017, oldest will be in 2nd grade and we are debating if this our last AP (she arrives next month).   We are locked in for 1 more year.
Average AP or good AP (we have had 3, going on 4th - none have been a Marry Poppins situation) it is a lot of work and big commitment.  Our AP has her own car, she flies with us on vacations (Disney/Mexico), etc.  Regardless of what you do for them, it has been our experience it is normally not enough.

If it were for one child nanny share or daycare is probably what I would do.

We have a large home, cleaned every week by a service - and adding that extra person who is average at best at maintaining the home with our two children has bomb like result about 30 minutes after the cleaning crew finishes.  You are not experiencing anything abnormal.

That being said, having care for sick days, snow days, after thanksgiving dinner and stuff like that is pretty valuable.[/quote]
