[quote=Anonymous]I actually love that our nanny is a mom because I think she has good mom judgment about when to worry and when not to since she has BTDT.  That said, her DC is 12 and she has a really good network of family around to be there for her kid so she is flexible about coming early/staying late, etc.

The nanny we had before had a six year old and it was a complete disaster.  She lived far away and was late literally every day because she had to drop her DC to school before leaving and getting to us on time meant dropping her DC off a little early.  She was also NEVER able to stay late if we needed (one advantage of a nanny over daycare) and sprinted out the door without ever giving me a download on the day, even when I was home very early (like up to an hour - she just decided she was done for the day).

Would I never hire a nanny who has or wants kids?  No.  Would I fire a nanny who wasn't able to do her job properly, even if she has a reason I was sympathetic to - like having a child?  Yes.  It just makes it not a good fit for both of us.[/quote]
