[quote=nannydebsays]For those parents who prefer to hire housekeeper/nanny combos, how do you manage if your nap expectations are not met? Do you start dropping housework if your child is a poor napper from the start of his time with HK/Nanny? (Say, 20 minute naps 5 times a day as an infant, 1 hour nap as a toddler, no nap at age 2.) What happens when your child drops his naps at age 3 or 4 but your second child is now napping 1 hour stretches 3x a day? Do you still expect HK/Nanny to clean your house? I guess my question is, how do you keep your expectations realistic and do you choose to have HK/Nanny focus on your kids or your floors and laundry? Do you consider what you could accomplish in your HK/Nanny's place, or do you expect more of them than you do of yourself?[/quote]
