[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I also think it’s insane to allow your nanny to bring her child to work with her (not just for work-related reasons, but also the liability! [b]And what if you disagree on parenting styles?) [/b]but apparently it’s common. I think we’re just going to require that she find childcare for working hours, including over the summer. Daycare for two babies will likely come close to matching her take home income, and we’ll just hope she ends up quitting. We really do like her and we want to do right by her, but this was just an impossible situation. [/quote]

You will have different parenting styles as she is not your clone.  I don't get how this would change anything because as long as she followed your rules what does it matter what she does in her own home?

I don't understand why you just 'hope that she quits' instead of talking to her about how impossible it is going to be.  Do you know if she has child care for her children?  Perhaps she does?  Start there.

If she did this post wouldn’t have started most likely. One of the first things she said was to ask if the babies could accompany her to work. I am a former nanny who is a SAHM now. It’s very hard to make a full time job work. It worked for me with PT work and our children weren’t babies. 
It makes more sense for the nanny to eventually open up an in home daycare. For the first year there isn’t much she can do without childcare. Most Nannie’s don’t want to leave their children to nanny for another family unless they have family helping with childcare. I also do occasional childcare and it helps bring in extra money.
