[quote=Anonymous]I have this long hours set up. But for only 1 toddler who naps 3.5 hours a day (used to nap 4.5 hours as an infant). Nanny does not housework, she plays with her phone or naps herself while kid sleeps. I found a less experienced person, a high school grad who trued a few jobs but was not driven or successful in those jobs, who is very introverted and a homebody, who didn't have a social life (I didn't seek out such a person but I now understand why she has a higher tolerance for spending so much time at work). She asks for minimal time off. I think it's her personality.

I let her take the kid to whichever Park museum library she chooses. I have said ok to her taking him to the mall, for lunch when she's craving something from somewhere, I basically let her as much freedom as I can. She says her prior MB was a micromanager and didn't like that. She says this pays way better than retail and her friends want in too. She likes kids but says she doesn't want to care for 2 kids, too difficult.

I agree, working 55 hours with two young kids would burn you out. If OP has 2 or more kids, I suggest getting 2 nannies. My friend who had twins did this and it also happened to save her $ since no OT pay was involved. [/quote]
