[quote=Anonymous]I think you're being too negative about SAHM's raising more than one child. Millions of people do it and it turns out fine. Yes, there might be a little extra TV while the baby is really small. And ideally, the older child is in something (preschool, school, camp) for at least part of the time, which makes it better for everyone.

However, if you need someone to focus on your child's needs 100% and spend the day driving and supervising activities outside the home, then yes, that sounds like not the best fit for a nanny with a new baby. (But maybe older children who are being driven to activities all day and supervised constantly by an adult isn't the ideal situation either...?)

But I do think you have the right to set the conditions for your nanny's employment, and if you don't want someone with a baby, that's within your rights. If it were any other job, this person would have to put their baby in childcare, so I don't see how a nanny job is any different, really.[/quote]
