[quote=Anonymous]We are debating hiring a nanny to watch our now 18 month old full time, as well as help a 4yo and 6yo in varying degrees (FT during what is left of summer, PT after school if we have school, something in between if our private prk/1st grade is DL or in a hybrid model-they have a fairly fully schedule but with lots of breaks between the live zoom classes).

I’ve only ever used FT daycare and school with aftercare, and I am having a hard time imagining what a nanny does with this age of kids, which makes it hard to think about what qualities I should even look for.  With our babies, we wanted someplace that loved them and had lots of play opportunities.  But we were lucky that the daycares we have worked with over the years spent time planning lessons for the little ones that kept them engaged.  Most people I know with nannies for then younger ones also send their kids to some sort of part time programming once they hit two, but with the pandemic I’m guessing that might not happen.  For other families who use a nanny for kids this age and older, what are some important qualities to look for in a person who may be with your younger one (without any other programming) until pre-K and with your older kids as well?

I know we are very lucky to be healthy enough to be in this situation and be able to afford this option-I know we will have to pay more for this type of help (3 kids is a lot and we expect to have to pay well).

Really appreciate any advice from folks who have done something like this.[/quote]
