[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please allow your child to have their own nanny for the first two years of life. This will forever be your child’s foundation. Healthy establishment of trust is essential. Investment is critical.

Professional nanny here who did several share arrangements. But never again. The “visiting” child is always the one who screams forever at nap time. It’s just not fair to the children to expect them to sleep in a very strange place. As caregiver of two unrelated children, it was impossible for me to comfort two children in two different rooms at the same time. It was horrible.[/quote]

So kids in families with more than 1 child do not establish healthy trust with their shared parent??  We had a very successful nanny share for two years.  It was in our home as we were on the way to their work locations.  We got the benefit not going anywhere.  They got the benefit on not having anyone at their house.  Everyone was flexible and we occasionally swapped locations when something came up.  When the nanny was sick or needed time off, we had 4 parents to help cover.  The kids had each other to play with which was great.  Our visitor did not have sleep issues in our house.  She had her spot and her stuff.  It was not a strange place.  It was where she was everyday!

It is definitely more work than daycare.  We were friends with the other family before hand so that helped.  I would do it again under the right conditions..[/quote]
