[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the poster who doesn’t understand. You pay for her availability in an emergency, on sick days, school holidays & breaks, as well as summer. Trying to piecemeal that all together is hard. If you can afford it, a nanny is a solid option.

OP, it may be a little late to discuss with this nanny, or she may ask for more money, but most nannies tend to household tasks during school hours: meal prep, craft prep, car maintenance, kid’s laundry, grocery shopping, etc. [/quote]

I am the poster with three kids and I really haven't found emergencies, sick days or school holidays to be hard to manage.  They are typically known far ahead of time.  And while they take some money to manage, it definitely doesn't take an annual salary of a full-time nanny.   On school breaks, especially summertime, most kids want to be in camp, not with nanny.[/quote]

You know when emergencies and sick days will occur, far ahead of time? That is amazing!

Me, I know a sick day is going to occur when 5yo vomits at 6:20 AM, but that's just me.[/quote]

I haven't had difficulty managing this myself. That's what sick leave is for.   White-collar jobs typically come with ample leave allowance. [/quote]
