[quote=Anonymous] Do you only need afterschool care? Do you have flexible hours for all of the random sick days when your kid has to stay home and when there is a teacher workday and when there is a snow day etc.? What is your plan for winter break and spring break and summer break?  If the nanny has been helping you to cover for some of these gaps so far and has adjusted her schedule to work around summer camps and things like that, then you need to come up with a plan that will accommodate all days of the year.

I agree with others that I would be talking  about this more with your son and asking him what are the things that he likes about the after care and looking for ways to meet those needs without getting rid of the nanny just yet. Maybe he liked it because they didn’t make him do homework.   Maybe he just liked being around friends. Perhaps you could see if a friend or classmate might also want to hang out with your son after school in a nanny share situation. That would give him a little bit of company but you would maintain the flexibility you need for days when  School and aftercare are not available. [/quote]
