[quote=Anonymous]I've been with my current family three days a week for two years. (I work part time for another family too.) The mom asked me a year ago if I would work for them until the twins go to school when they're four and I said OK. (I had originally been hired for one year.) There's also an older child who is currently four but will be five the end of September. The twins will be three in May and I found out this week they might be going to school in the fall. She keeps going back and forth on it and originally said they'd use me the same hours (which I know can't be true unless I take on housekeeping/shopping stuff but I figure she said it to keep me from looking right away.) Then today she decided the twins would go to school at four since the older kid probably won't go to kindergarten this year due to her birthday and she doesn't want three kids in the same co-op preschool. Then later on she said she found a solution to her problem (huh?) and that would be to send me to volunteer every Thursday to fulfill her commitment.

I have zero interest in doing that. Zero. I'm fairly introverted and that sounds like something I'd get burned out on really really fast. I became a nanny partly because I enjoy having a free form day without a set schedule and a small group setting. We can go to the zoo or stay home or whatever. If someone is sick we can work around that. If they're in school every T-Th we'll never get to do anything fun. I am willing to consider the idea but am really not sure it's what I want to do. I have been saving money to do some long term travel and figured I'd go when this family is done with me but I thought that would be next year, not this year.

My question is have any nannies been the family volunteer at a preschool? What was it like? What do you do? What is your generally personality...are you more introverted or extroverted? Did the other moms care that you are the nanny?  I want to get a feel for what she's asking me to do before I commit one way or the other.

Thanks.[/quote]
