[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]You need to look at your budget and disentangle wants from needs. If you can afford the extra help that you want, get a nanny and enjoy your 55+ hrs/wk of professional childcare. If you can't afford it or have other priorities for your money, get an au pair and handle the evening routine as a family. [/quote] Great points, but even if they do the evening routine on their own, they still exceed 45 hours with a M-F 8-6 schedule. OPs expectations are really beyond most professional nannies too... 8-7 Mon-Fri?? :shock: Would a live-in nanny even have this kind of endurance? Sounds like a 2 person job to me. One full time and one part-time. [/quote] Depends. I've done 24/7, no burnout, but I had complete latitude about just about everything. Technically I had to pass everything by DB first, but reality was that I made the choices.[/quote]
