[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You could do a nanny share and have the other family host.[/quote] This would be a great solution for yourfamily . [/quote] +1 - We had a nanny at home when our oldest was a baby. I thought it was awesome at first. I could see her in the middle of the day and continue breastfeeding easily. Once she got older, this stopped being an ideal solution. Kids are noisy and I also think the nanny had a hard time being in charge because I was always at home. Also, because DD knew I was at home, she wanted to see me all the time and sometimes I couldn't stop what I was doing to say hello so this was very upsetting to her. Kids go to daycare (and elementary school) now and it's a much better solution for us all around. Like anything, your first childcare solution may not be your forever solution and it's ok. You may have a set up at home that easily allows you to have your child at home. I have client calls often and unfortunately, noise just seems to travel in our house so it doesn't work for us.
