[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So since this thread has been dredged up yet again . . . . .  What would you all call me?

I work about 14 hours a week for one family, and I work about 6 hours a week for another family.

Family one, I pick up the kindergartner at school at 2:30, then we pick up the three year old at preschool at 3.  Then we go home.  The oldest child has karate class from 4:30 to 5:30, so I take them both to that.  Then we go home and I make dinner for the three of us.  Then I give them baths and put them to bed.  The parents get home at 9:30.

Family two, I arrive at their house at 3:20 p.m. and let their dog out to potty.  Then the dog and I walk to the bus stop to wait on the kids.  The school bus arrives and the 4th grader and 2nd grader get off the bus.  The next 30 minutes is: walk back home / potty / snack / how was your day  / text MB. The next 45 minutes is homework. At 5 we start getting ready for karate and leave at 5:15 for karate class.  I drop them off at karate and head home.  DB meets the kids at karate before their class is over.

It doesn't seem to me that what I do with either family is really enough hours to call it a nanny position. But it sure is more responsibility than just sitting on the couch watching TV with the kids.  [/quote]

Number of hours doesn't distinguish.  Frequency and level of care do.[/quote]
