I can't imagine a nanny leaving behind her own newborn to take care of someone else's kids.

Just one person's opinion.

Hi there. What areas are you looking to work in and how soon? My husband and I are expecting in 12 weeks and would be open to talking with you if you aren't looking for something immediately.

You can email me at [e-mail]

Thanks.

Unless you're a special education sitter, like I am, in which case, you don't have summers off, but you *do* have lots of people telling you how lucky you are to have summers off. :-/

I meant special education teacher, but had just read the word sitter so I typed it. This is why I should not be online at 5 am when I need to be at work at 7:30 and have not yet been to bed. Ugh.

Lots of good points here but...and I know this such a remote thing...but if the worst happened and there was an emergency I would worry that the nanny would focus on rescuing/saving her own child first to the detriment of mine. Maybe a bizarre POV but there it is. Which is my primary reason for not considering a nanny who needed to bring her own child with her to my home.

Funny how people are different. When I brought my child to work with me, she always waited because the other child came "first". I was actually pleased to have my child learn that the world did not revolve around her.

I should add that I have only one child, so when I wasn't at work, the world pretty much did revolve around my child when she was little.

Stop. It's way more of a negative than a plus or a nanny to bring her kid to work. That's a fact.

Apparently, what you consider to be a "fact" is only your own personal opinion, which you are welcome to. Even if your girlfriends agree with you, your opinion does not translate into a fact. Nice try.

No, it's true. The benefits to the employer are very little compared to the benefits to the employee.

Why would two physician parents, including a pediatric psychiatrist, hire a nanny who brought along her own child?


They even paid above average rates because they could afford the best.

The best can be someone with a kid. There are people who actively want people with kids just like there are people who feel the opposite. There are many benefits to having your child be around another child, and in this case, I think the ped psych knew that and that's how they made the decision. Plus, if the person was a good fit and overall candidate, nothing wrong with that.

Each family may decide what's best for them. One size does not fit all.

Other mothers may want their child to think the world revolves around them 24/7.

So far it's all the nannies reporting how great the nanny+child scenario worked for them.

Where are reports from the happy customers?

all.

I don't know these pediatric psychiatrists and they may be great people but I would like to point out that in the medical world the pediatric psychiatrists are notoriously the most bizarre people with the most screwed up children. I say this as someone with an aunt and uncle who I adore who are pediatric psychiatrists and their children are SO dysfunctional. So I don't put much weight in your example.

No one here cares about anything; we are all just a bunch of strangers talking on an online forum.
