[quote=Anonymous]OP, there are two issues here. The first is that you should talk to your pediatrician about how much sleep your little guys need and whether they are getting enough. The second issue is that most nannies are going to want a 1.5 to 2 hour break in the afternoon because that’s typically what they get with 20 month olds. If your kids truly don’t nap, and this isn’t some phase, then you’ll need to get creative - maybe they spend 2 hours alone time in their room “independent ally playing”; you take a 2 hour break from your job in the afternoon to watch the kids and let nanny sit and relax; or maybe you just pay her really really well to work through the afternoon. Most jobs don’t give employees a 2 hour break in the afternoon but nannying for young kids is physically and mentally exhausting so I can understand where Nannies are coming from. [/quote]
