This an awesome idea too. One of things I love to do as a nanny is explore the neighborhood through long walks Sometimes we are gone for an hour or two. Kids love it. My love it, my boss loves that I do it and it's great exercise. The only times we don't go out is if the weather is severe or if someone is sick.

Excellent advice from the last 3 posters !

Also during those "breaks" you get with naps allow yourself to catch a breath.

Read your kindle or a magazine.
