[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I am a career nanny and I think some of the posters giving  out guilt trips are also coming from a place of just not getting the nanny dynamic.  If she has been his nanny since birth then he feels totally comfortable and safe with her.  She knows (and probably helped you all to figure out) exactly what his special needs are as well as any emergency protocols.  As a nanny I have taken kids on road trips without parents (including one where we had to stop at an ER and one where we were snowed in and had to stay in a hotel an extra night).  I also once took some charges home with me for thanksgiving when there was a sudden death in the family and the parents wanted to be there for their family members.  I have also worked with SN or medically complicated kids and it really makes for a tight dynamic with the nanny and parents.  I have been to tons of specialist appointments and therapy appointments and worked as a team with parents to make sure their kid has the best possible care. [/quote]

You sound great but I still wouldn't want my kid to have a seizure with a nanny when I'm 24 hrs away (or maybe 3 weeks away if I get covid travelling.)[/quote]
