[quote=Anonymous]Our nanny is still coming. Our kids are middle elementary age. One thing we found helpful (mostly for the nanny) is insisting on Quiet Time for an hour after lunch. The girls are separated (one in their bedroom and one on our bed) and can read or play with anything that doesn't make noise. QT is an hour. It gives our nanny a break that I think is helpful for getting re-energized for the afternoon. Also, normally our nanny preps dinner (gets the girls to set the table, makes the salad, marinates, cuts up veg, etc.) but since DH and I have no commute we took that off the nanny's plate and are doing that ourselves. We also alternate which kid eats lunch with which parent each day - I think it's good for the girls to have a bit of time apart from each other. [/quote]
