[quote=Anonymous]I WFH and my office is on the main floor, right next to the family room and then kitchen. It works out fine. DD understands I'm working when my door is closed. It took her 2-3 times of standing outside my door (it has glass) with a sad look but then she figured it out. The nice thing is you can be involved when you want to. Right now, I heard the nanny coming home from a playdate with DD. I'll tell DD good bye as she goes upstairs for her nap. Also DD has had the sniffles the last two days, so I can monitor that. The key is to not intervene authority-wise during nanny-time. Let the nanny run the show, and drop in if you want to say hello but that's it. Children adapt well and will understand the situation. I really like our arrangement as I _am_ around in case something comes up, and can "drop in" on DD like when she's eating lunch and I want to get something to drink. I don't do many calls but if you do, consider soundproofing your office.[/quote]
