[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can understand not wanting a nanny for an infant, but it sounds like your kids are older. We used a great daycare at work that was incredible for five years, but when my oldest started K, we didn't want to manage separate schedules/drop off/pick off etc. so got a nanny. Our youngest was 2. We found the nanny from my neighborhood list-serv and she had worked for friends/neighbors of ours for years and their youngest was starting school so they were transitioning out of having a nanny. My 2 year old and 5 year old tell us everything, plus she doesn't sit at home with them. She is at play dates around the neighborhood with them, at the park, the library for story hour, etc., and so we feel like a lot of the neighborhood moms and other nannies etc. know her well.

Anyway, that's our story and our nanny is part of our family now - we just love her and I think you have to give yourself and your kids credit for having some kind of instinct.  There is oversight with a nanny in some ways, for older kids. If you had a bad experience I understand, but honestly, a bad experience can happen at a group childcare situation too, including camps etc. for older kids. Do what you think is best but from reading your post, it sounds like this issue is going to continue coming up.

Good luck with whatever you decide.  [/quote] OP here - really appreciate your comments. Thanks.[/quote]
