[quote=doodlebug][quote=Anonymous]We live in North Arlington and tried to find care.  We too have an AP with K and 2nd grade and only use 20 hours during school season.
Hate to say it, but it was near impossible to find anything close to what an AP weekly costs.

We too are a bit tired of having someone live with us; and actually thinking of moving out of Arlington to get closer to the grandparents in the suburbs who could watch them after school.[/quote] Seriously, team up with a couple other families with school aged kids, each of you pays $40-50 a day or whatever, and the nanny gets $150-200 a day and can live on that with those short hours. Will she be able to Take Billy to soccer, Sally to girl scouts, Timmy to lego club, Tara to math tutoriing etc? No. But if your kids lead normal lives with one activity a week at the most, then you can manage carpools for that one kid on one day while the after school nanny looks after the other four or  five kids at someone's home. They can be working on some homework, having a snack, having some down time etc so they're more refreshed when the parents get home. [/quote]
