[quote=Anonymous]Hello,
I understand your question completely. While others don't seem to get what you mean. I also dealt with a similar situation and it can be tough to deal with.  I have a live in nanny and we provide everything plus extra things we do for her in addition to just what we offer her as a live in. The best thing you can do is set hourly breaks if you are home. I give my nanny a two hour break where she is completely child free and able to go do whatever she likes. I work from home so I can take over during those two hours. However, if you are going to an office I would say she takes a break when the child naps. During the rest of the time she can have her tea while she's doing housework. She can eat a snack while she's folding laundry. She should be engaging with your two year old not sitting around drinking tea. And she should have set hours from start to finish.  Her job is a nanny  and you are paying her. As long as she gets her set breaks during the child's nap then the rest of the day should be engaging with your son and light housekeeping. So for a full day I would say two hours. Hope this helps. Manage your nanny don't let her slack off and push you around.[/quote]
