[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many hours per day/week do you need? I knew a grandma in her 60's who would wake up every day at 5am, go to at least one spin class, etc. She'd also regularly watch her grandkids (2-4 of them at a time) for the weekend. However...after those weekends, she was exhausted. I don't think she could handle a 45-50 hour week chasing after her grandkids consistently. [/quote] I took care of my niece and nephew for a weekend and was utterly exhausted and sore! I was 28 at the time. As a parent, I pace myself better and so would this grandma. It really isn’t about age - it’s overall health. And the ability and desire to prioritize sleep and rest at home (something younger people, in my experience, do not do). So, yes, I would definitely hire a nanny in her early 70’s if she was healthy and had a calm lifestyle. [/quote]
