[quote=Anonymous]Nanny here who has worked with many work at home parents. I think you definitely need to go the basement route, since you said that the nanny will be new to your family. Nanny will obviously just be getting to bond with the newborn, and will just be starting to bond with the toddler as well. And both kids will be adjusting to having you in the building at all. adding on to that that you are going back-and-forth during the day (not to mention kids hearing you on phone calls etc. in your office) is going to make it very difficult for the nanny to build a strong relationship with your kids. Set up your office in the basement, and if you find that you absolutely hate having no natural light, you can reevaluate after around six months, at which point the nanny will be more bonded to your kids, and you will be able to get her feedback as well on how to make the upstairs room work. in the meantime, I agree that you should invest in some great lighting for the basement.[/quote]
