Our son loves the nanny and will spend time with her in the evenings after she is done work too. We try to make sure she gets her weekends clear so that she gets a break though. We like having a nanny as she cooks, cleans, washes and iron clothes. Even will take our son for swimming and soccer (takes the bus right now till she gets her license). We eats dinner with us, and we invite her family gatherings and she attends sometimes, no pressure on her.

If you have the wherewithal to do it, I highly recommend it. My wife and I both work and find it really helps keep our life organized and more fun. The weekends we aren't running around trying to get the house clean or do laundry, we can just hang out with our son or go out.

Is there any other 'privileges' you (or your wife for that matter) get?
