[quote=Anonymous]I had a long talk with my current nanny about whether she could manage school and a full time job. We have 3 kids all at home, and I did not want someone whose priority was her school work. I didn't want to feel like it was on me to find her more time if the kids didn't nap one day. It is not your responsibility to make sure she gets her assignments in on time. While I don't think you should fill her every minute with tasks, I do think she could clean the play area, etc.. These tasks (and planning activities) will become more important as the kids get older. I would also worry about a lot of the nannies on this thread quitting as soon as the babies get more difficult and downtime starts disappearing. So make sure she's working out for you now rather than banking on later. Unless, of course, you're paying a lower rate because she's a student. In that case, I would say homework time is assumed.[/quote]
