Full-time Nanny with SAHP - Why?
| Tue, 02-10-2004 - 6:41pm |
Something I've often wondered about, but never had the opportunity to ask. Why do SAHM or SAHD need a full time nanny, especially when they aren't working from home. I can easily see the need if the SAHP is a WAHP, but what is the logic for a full time nanny otherwise?
Any comments?

Why would limited hours and days, lack of transportation...and all the rest have to do with whether its a preschool or not?
Wouldn't it be based more on the teachers certification and the curriculum and not on all the *other* stuff?
Both of my boys attended a preschool within our public school district, with certified teachers, a wonderful educational curriculum, with extended daycare and a choice between 1/2 day and full day...not only the entire school year but also with a summer program.

My sons preschool teachers went to college for ECE and are certified to teach in the state with a teaching certificate.

We also have preschool within our public school system. I just don't know if I'm for 4 full days or 4 half days either one. I think that can be a little much & such a young age. But my verdict is still out on that one. Yes, it is preschool. Yes, it does have morning or afternoon transportation. If you do mornings you have to provide transportation home, if you do afternoons you are responsible for bringing your child. Only all day have transportation to and from. They do have to be potty trained and the teachers are all college graduates with degrees.
Local private school also has preschool. Of course there is no bus transportation for any of the K-6th much less the preschool. You have the arrival & dismissal lines that most parents prefer to use.
Some similarities, other differences.
I was just stating the differences I see in our local preschools and daycare centers (although I do know of a couple of daycares that do have the arrival/dismissal lanes, pretty cool for those who have to commute in heavy traffic, I'm sure it is a time saver for the parent).
I don't know of any preschools who will accept children that are not potty trained (unless there is a medical reason for the child not being potty trained).
It is the same kind of thinking as Kindergarten. Unless there is a medical reason, they are expected to be potty trained, no training pants, diapers, etc.
This goes for both private and public policies that I'm familiar with on behalf of checking out possibilities for future enrollment. The ones I'm interested in with the best programs you have to put your name on the list by the child's 2nd birthday to get them in the 4 year old program. We are a long way from it but I want to be ready by the 2nd birthday.

It's OK to do major amounts of volunteering, whenever.
