[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]OP here...yes, that is kind of how i felt, PP. [b]Even if my DC was "drop-off age," i don't think i would ever drop her off with the nanny, just out of respect for the nanny.[/b] I would stay and split the childcare job evenly between the two of us (and at least make sure that i take care of my own kids) for the time that my child is going to be there.[/quote]

So when your DC is 9, you will go sit there the whole time out of respect for the nanny?[/quote]

I am the OP that you quoted.  When my DC is older, I will likely do what a PP suggested - host a number of playdates at my house, and let the nanny (and mother) know that she is welcome to drop-off.  In this case, since I am on friendly terms with the nanny, I might stay during some of the playdates...if i don't stay, I wouldn't leave DC for more than 2, 2.5 hours.  Also, at the age you mentioned (9 yrs), kids don't need a supervising nanny as much as age 3 or 4, obviously, so dropping off probably wouldn't be as much of a burden on the nanny.[/quote]
