[quote=Anonymous]We have a great nanny for our kids, ages 5 and 2.  She has been with us for a year and takes Metro and bus to get to us in Arlington from her home in Fairfax County.  I've never asked her about exactly how long her commute is but I think it's around an hour.  We are in the process of looking for a new place to live.  We are a one-car family and hope to stay that way for the foreseeable future, so staying close to Metro and/or Metrobus is already a factor.  But we've seen some places that I think would increase her commute, and some that would decrease it.  I'm worried that if it gets much longer than an hour she will not want to work for us anymore, though she NEVER complains about anything and at one point was looking for jobs in Capitol Hill, so it doesn't seem like a huge concern to her.  My question is, how much would you consider this?  We hope to be in our next home for at least 10-15 years, and she will only be with us for another 2-3 years at most, so it seems silly to make it the main consideration.  But I also know how hard it was to find her and how upset we would all be to lose her after moving.  Any suggestions?[/quote]
