[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. 
I think they'd both be active with him.

Answering a few questions The nurse has been looking for a lower stress job and she enjoys working with families in home.  We're paying a very generous salary and she's married so I'm assuming she may not be s concerned about earnings. She and her husband can't have kids so no leaving to get pregnant as someone suggested. The sahm likes working with kids she basically has an empty nest and plans to nanny until her kids are ready to have kids 
And yes I know the nanny will be an employee and I don't think the sahm will argue with me I have a hard time having confidence in myself and I think I d second guess myself more with her 
[b]I also like that the nurse is a nurse because kids get sick and have accidents [/b]and she's also had a wide variety of experience and used to teach preschoolers.
Also DH isn't  uncomfortable with the nurse just prefers the mom and truthfully we had considered having his mom be our caregiver, but we had kids later than planned and his mom got I'll and is no longer up to caring for a small kid.[/quote]

I mean, I get what you’re saying, but you’re paying her to be a nanny, not a nurse. If your child gets a bump or bruise anybody can help in that situation. Any accident will still need to go to the hospital, regardless of who your nanny is.

I think you’re putting a lot of emphasis on something that won’t bear much into her employment.

What I think is important is for your nanny to have CPR/first aid training, which you should ask the second candidate if she’s willing to be trained.

I have worked in daycare for years and I can tell you I have never needed to use my cpr/first aid.

They both sound like good candidates. Good luck with whoever you choose.

Actually OP  is paying for whatever skills set she and her husband find valuable.  If OP and her husband have jobs where it's not easy to take off time for a sick kid or need  tobring them to medical appointments it might be valuable to them to have someone who does it professionally, and perhaps you have been extremely lucky as a mom or daycare provider but I have definitely had situations with my kid where it have been helpful to have  a nurse on had while waiting for anambulance .[/quote]
