[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm similar to you: very averse to nannies after a wildly awful situation with someone who had been thoroughly vetted. My husband and I both work FT with reasonably flexible schedules but we do enough public stuff (testimony, teaching, meetings) that one of us can't always take the hit for snow days etc. We have managed, for the most part, by relying on various forms of group care - day care when they were younger and now aftercare. But we keep a contract with White House Nannies temporary service and use them regularly when we need a pinch hitter in a crisis. It's been a godsend. I'll also add, that we did have one year with an almost FT nanny - it wasn't planned, and she was a recent college grad rather than a professional nanny. But she did restore our faith in that as an option. So I can say that it might be worthwhile to consider testing that as an option again at some point. [/quote]
