[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's a good way to put it: a housekeeper who'll babysit.[/quote]

Op - I really want the nanny part to be the focus.  The issue is we only need someone 15 hours or so a week during the school year.  I am to pay full time as long as we can find ways to have the person take some items off our to do list (eg, cooking, errands, etc).  I would likely have someone else come in a couple times a month to help with cleaning.  [/quote]

Good nannies don't do general housework, generally.  And most truly good nannies want to spend their days - all day - with children.  That is why they become nannies.

I think you have to rethink what you want, OP.  [/quote]

So are you saying families with school aged children will not be able to hire a "good nanny"?   OP: Since you only need child care 15 hours a week in most of the time, you probably won't want to hire someone to sit around for 25 hours.  "Good nanny"or not, you need someone who will deign to do household chores.  Doing kids laundry and organizing their toys isn't a 25 hour a week chore. Unless you are one of the few families who can pay nannies for being on call in case of a sick day or snow day, you need housekeeper-nanny.[/quote]
