[quote=Anonymous]Well if both your children will be attending school, then it makes no financial or practical sense to pay a nanny as well. Because as you stated, you will be paying her to do "nothing." Essentially.

If you need her to be "on-call" for your children in the event of illness, school closure, etc. and need her to make herself available for your family during school hours however then it would only be fair that she be compensated since she is bound to your family and cannot use that time to work for another family.

However, she shouldn't get paid for doing absolutely nothing like your husband stated.

If you do not think she would be okay cleaning your home, I say you assign her other household task to complete while your children are in school.

Examples would be: light chores such as vacuuming, sweeping, taking out trash/recycling on garbage days, loading/emptying dishwasher, pet/plant care (if needed), cabinet/drawer/closet organization, bed making, laundry duties, ironing, grocery shopping, Coscto, pharmacy runs, return library items, take the car for oil changes/car washes, drop-off/pick-up dry cleaning, bill paying, etc.

I am quite sure w/two working parents and two young children and a house to maintain there are many things to do beside clean a home and your current Nanny can make your lives much easier if given certain tasks to complete.[/quote]
