[quote=Anonymous]We are in the same boat this year with only needs care about 4 hours a day, maybe 5.  We rarely use any of our APs on weekends as we like to be with our children.
This year we are going really expect our AP to actually manage the children's rooms and put stuff away properly.  Current AP works maybe 30-35 hours a week and terrible at organizing anything, and does their laundry but does not even try to put the right clothes with the right child.  But she is awesome with the kids so we let it go.

This year we are going to add:
1 hour per day while kids are at school to organize their rooms/clothes (should only take 10 minutes if she is current with it) & playroom
1 hour per week to take her car to car wash (that we pay for)
2 hours per week to grocery shop for kids (maybe, will see how this goes)

That should get us close to using AP at 30 hours a week during school.  She still has 5 hours a day to kill.  We have been screening candidates really into fitness and sports since we provide a gym membership and car for AP that they can join a team or do something fun during the day and do not go insane with boredom.
