Maybe it’s a matter of how much she gets paid?[/quote]

Op here. Her DH and two kids will be gone for 2.5 weeks over Christmas. They are going to her DH’s home country for a wedding and for her kids to meet his family for the first time, and our nanny was unable to get a visa. She’s very sad about it and I think having the chance to make some money and not be entirely alone over Christmas is something she’s happy about.

I’ll touch base with her again about whether she’s sure this is ok with her and if she wants me to arrange a back up person to give her breaks. Historically, she has not wanted this when we’ve gone away, but it’s never been for this long before.

I’d be miserable alone with a toddler for a week but she handles DS better than anyone and he behaves the best for her. I know it’s surprising but for some people (the sort of people who become nannies) a week alone with a toddler isn’t a huge deal.

I’ll touch base with her again to see what she thinks about this trip and if she’s really comfortable. She’s been in our lives for more than 5 years and I believe if this did not work for her she would tell me, but I’ll talk with her about it again (and probably several more times leading up to the trip).[/quote]
