[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been with my current family for 6 years.  I am now at the point where I have 10 hours a week with both kids in school.  I am on call if the kids are sick, but those 10 hours are mine to do as I please.  I don’t have to come in to work until the youngest is done with preschool at 11:00.  Perhaps this isn’t the norm, but certainly is very appreciated.  [/quote]

Do you imagine this will continue once the youngest is in school more than 2 hours a day?

My youngest will probably do a week or two of camp this summer, which means my nanny will have 20 hours off for those weeks. In the fall, he'll start 3-day a week preschool, which will be 15 hours off a week most weeks. That is not something I would do long term. If we weren't moving later in the summer, we'd be talking about either transitioning to a role more like what the OP describes, shifting her hours significantly, switching to part time, or moving on to someone new. Since I no longer have younger children, and I can cover days off easily when necessary, it will no longer make sense for us to have a full time nanny who starts at 8:30am.

Maybe your employers have a lot more money, or maybe you work much longer hours anyway.[/quote]
