That being said, at least for us, I am so exhausted after managing the nanny for 50 hours and then working like a crazy person on top of that, that I feel the time I do spend with my kids is lacking due to sheer exhaustion; however, that's totally on me.

Woah, I'll finish reading in a minute, but you shouldn't have to manage your nanny at all much less for 50 hrs. They should be able to manage themselves. So maybe you just don't have a nanny with experience to earn rates closer to.$30/hr OR they are just not the same caliber and the quality of care is so low that they can't/shouldn't earn higher. You should just be able to hand off your child(ren) and get them back at the end of the day and know that they were in the best care possible outside of you. [/quote]

I'm thinking we have just had bad luck finding good nannies, perhaps, but then I read the phone threads and I'm wondering if people just want to think their nannies are wonderful because they are leaving their kids in their care for so long.  But I did misspeak there (exhausted, haha) - managing the nanny isn't taking 50 hours, I meant nanny is working 50 hours.  But it does take up several hours per day, because I WFH.  I include cleaning up kids' crap the nanny left lying around in managing the nanny + cleaning up my own messes so the nanny's workplace is as clean as she likes it, as she considers it her 'office.'
