[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is doable. We have indirect experience (we're in a nanny share that's hosted at the other family's apartment). Basically - one of you is in the office, one of you is in the bedroom, and the nanny and kid have the rest of the apartment. I think the key is DO NOT come out when the kid is home. Do a good bye with him in the morning like you would when he's at daycare "Bye!! Have a great day I'll see you after work!" and then he does NOT see you until the end of the day. Should be pretty easy to arrange - I assume your kid naps in the afternoon. See if the nanny can take the kid out each morning, perhaps have a deal that they're always out from, say, 10:30 to 11:30. When they're out, you both use the bathroom and make your lunches, bringing them back to your offices. When he's napping, you get another bathroom/snack break. He may pound on your door and scream the first week, but he'll adjust fast if you stick to your guns (and make sure the nanny is clear on that rule). [/quote]

This is basically what we do in our 1000 square foot house. It hasn't been too bad.
