[quote=Anonymous]My current charges are 8mo and almost 3. Their naps don't overlap anymore, so usually we eat together. I plan (loosely) activities to be alternatively very demanding and then quiet and peaceful, like having a loud dance party or a game of hide and seek followed by some kinetic sand time. When both of them are engaged independently for 10 minutes, I will have a cup of tea while observing from the couch. We go to the park/playground on most days, so after we come back they are both way more likely to be involved in their toys without me needing to facilitate play, so I can check my email for five minutes. A nanny who has experience with a baby and a toddler will know how to carve small breaks, unless you expect her to do a lot of household tasks as well or actively engage the children every second they are awake.[/quote]
