[quote=Anonymous]Only hire a nanny if you can find a really good one. I love ours. She has her strengths and limitations and luckily those complement ours so DCs get a full spectrum. DH and I both WFH and find that she pays them a little too much attention so I actually ask her to practice some benign neglect occasionally so that DCs learn how to play independently. She does play dates with other nannies and with SAHMs. The other moms (the SAHMs and some of the employers of the other nannies who WFH) tell us how awesome she is. I can tell based on her words and actions how much she loves DCs and puts them first (sometimes too much so, as I said earlier). HOWEVER, I’ve seen some pretty terrible nannies as well. Lazy, uncreative, and borderline neglectful. Some of the parents employing them are rich, more so than us. I wonder how they are so blind, or whether they are too cheap to pay for someone better.[/quote]
