[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is everyone freaking out about being alone with a toddler for 5 days? As a single mom, I’ve been alone with multiple toddlers for as long as they were toddlers, and every other age. Yes they had daycare (now school) because I work to support us, but work isn’t a ‘break’, and I’m alone with them otherwise. [/quote]

I’m also a single mom with two young kids and just recently spent a week alone with them (entirely because daycare was closed).  On one hand, I agree with you that it’s not actually that big a deal.  On the other hand, I feel like if people are used to having a partner, it’s normal that they would find managing their household alone more challenging.  On the other hand again, this nanny is used to managing this child alone so she’s probably be fine.  On the fourth hand 😆 I would never want to do this myself so I can’t really put myself in OP’s shoes.  I think bringing the baby and the nanny on the trip with them would be much more reasonable.[/quote]
