My wife and I divorced a few years ago. It was about as amicable as it could be. We have 2 kids under the age of 8. She has custody most of the time. She has a nanny to take care of the kids after school and during parts of school breaks. She is 23 and getting a degree in early childhood development at a nearby university.
I had the kids for Thanksgiving break. I decided to take them on a week long trip. We went to Disney World for a few days and then to an island in the Caribbean.
I wanted to be able to enjoy the vacation a bit myself so I asked if the nanny might be interested in coming to help out a bit. My wife was fine with it. I discussed it with the nanny and we came to terms on payment. I asked her to work roughly half time. She was going to take care of /assist me with the kids during 4 days and was going to watch them at night for the 4 other nights.
