[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had a nanny 2 for 2 years and APs for 5 now.  We started with the nanny after daycare when children we 2 and 4.  We went through 3 nannies in 2 years.  We live in Arlington, 4 blocks from metro and 1 block from bus; but all 3 nannies drove their car to our home.  
We ended up firing all 3 nannies for one reason or the other, but mainly they could never make it to work if it rained or snowed basically.  Which sucked for me as DH works internationally and was often away.
We went to APs and never looked back - we pay more than the $200 and have 3 cars and have gotten great female and male APs.
Now that our children are older we only have very athletic APs who play sports with them or have a hobby in common with both.
For a split schedule, and actually playing WITH the children AP is they way to go.  Our APs never miss work, and are perfect for school aged children.

Having someone live with you does get old, but if your house is big enough not really an issue too often.

Sorry not sorry, if OPM is closed for snow I’m not risking my life for a job. [/quote]
