[quote=Anonymous]We interviewed a nanny we really like and want to hire. She is 35 and recently married, so one thing giving us pause is that she wants children of her own. We are hoping to get some insight from others who have had a nanny who had a baby while they worked for you in terms of how challenging it was to manage while they were out, and what it was like during the pregnancy and after the baby was born. We don’t have any family nearby or other support so would need to find someone to fill in while our nanny is out on maternity leave and I know that isn’t easy to find (and it can be hard on the kids). DH and I work pretty long hours and don’t have a ton of flexibility so we rely very heavily on our caregivers.

Would love to know:

-Did you pay your nanny directly for maternity leave or did they just collect disability? Not sure how that piece works
-Was your nanny able to work and manage your kids/the job up until the end of their pregnancy? 
-After the baby was born were they still reliable and did your hours with them stay the same or did they ask to change?
-Did they need to take a lot of time off for doctor’s appts during their pregnancy?
-As your nanny’s kid(s) got a little older did you have issues with needing time off when the kids are sick, their own daycare closures, etc?

Thanks for any information anyone can share. We just want to understand what we are getting into so we can be prepared.[/quote]
