[quote=Anonymous]"Actually, I don't think that is important. An infant and a toddler don't need regular big outings, particularly with a part time nanny. Kids that age do just fine with a routine that might include a walk, time in the pool or playing in the backyard etc. Presumably they get to do stuff like the zoo, museums, parks when they are with their parents. I can see it being a bigger issue with a full time nanny who is there 50+ hours a week. I could also see it being a bigger issues with older, presumably more stir-crazy kids., but two days (ending at 4:30) with an infant who is likely taking several naps a day and a toddler who likely naps for a significant chunk of the afternoon - it seems pretty reasonable to ask that they stick around the house/neighborhood. "

exactly. Different situation entirely if it is 4 or 5 days a week but with kids this age and only 2 days a week it is 100% reasonable to ask them to stay put since going anywhere close is not an option apparently. That said, OP must live in the boondocks. There are probably easily a dozen playgrounds in  10 mile radius of my house and 2 within a mile, not even counting the one in our neighborhood.[/quote]
