Afternoon schedule should begin at 2.30 with the above duties carried out. The children will need to be picked up from school at 3.30, leaving the house at 3pm. The nanny will have help once the children are back from school, but will be expected to coordinate the drop-off and pick up of the children to their various activities, help with homework, bath and bedtime.
