not yet -- dc in 1st grade. but i could get away with having someone less than two hours per day, as my work schedule is such that i can be home pretty early. as is, our nanny works part time now. [ Reply | More

only if you get home in time. I don't think you can leave kids by themselves after school until they are least in 6th grade. [ Reply | More

what happens when they are sick? doing after school every day is a long day, having the different vacation schedules is tough. we've made do without one, but it is a struggle. haven't found someone we liked yet-have one pt but not enough for us [ Reply | More

When they are sick, you take a sick day too. [ Reply | More

I know plenty who do. They key is either "after care" at the school and/or being able to coordinate your work schedule with your spouse and trade off the pick up/drop off duties. [ Reply | More

np: The thing about aftercare is that unless you go to a school where it's subsidized (which are generally only schools in lower income nabes) afterschool is more expensive than babysitter even for one dc, and most definitely for two. Plus it is a really long day for the kids. [ Reply | More
