[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a Nanny working 11 hour days with a 1 and 3 yo. When they napped I did nothing except lay on the couch for an hour and a half when they were asleep. I usually started afternoon prep before they woke up but that was it.
Dont begrudge your Nanny that time.

When Dc starts preschool are you going to begrudge paying the 2.5 hours a day twice a week too?

Most nannies do work long hours, and caring for young children is exhausting.  I can see them needing about 30 minutes off for each 4 hours.  So up to 90 minutes of down time for lunch, relaxing, is no biggie.  When it gets to be more than that, say the preschool days, I would expect the nanny to be able to tackle additional kid-related tasks, like more thorough cleaning of the play area, etc during that time.  And I would not expect to have to pay more because these chores are an integral part of her duties, just not ones that I placed as much a priority on when she was hands-on with my child for the entire day.
