[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi nannies and MBs! 
Where do you nannies take your 9-12 month old charges for age appropriate outings. I am a first time MB and my nanny is wonderful. She has approached me multiple times about taking my DC on more outings.  I am a nervous first time mom about the baby being away form home. It has nothing to do with the nanny, she is wonderful and I completely trust her. I don't even feel comfortable with my mom taking DC for a few hours away from home in the car! Haha! 
I know it is time to start having them venture out a bit more. I can tell our nanny is getting frustrated by my insisting they stay close to home (walks on our street). Nanny has done some research and suggested a story time at the library geared towards babies and a playground in driving distance she would like to visit with DC to get some fresh air during the day.  Do you have some other ideas of places that would seem age appropriate to take a 7 month old?
*and before anyone asks, yes I already purchased a car seat for her car which will stay there and will be reimbursing her gas and miles...[/quote]

Nanny of a 6 month old charge here: We go out daily for a couple hours in between her morning and afternoon naps. One day a week we usually go to the playground. Of course she is too young to really play there, but there is a nice park where we sit under a tree and she watches the kids running around. It's great to get out in the fresh air. We go to a music and babies class which is geared towards infants 6-18 months old. We just started this a couple of weeks ago but it is really great! She is full of smiles and giggles listening to the music and dancing around in my arms. I would love to find a babies story time around me. They also live by the beach, so once a week we walk to the beach and I put her feed in the sand and water. I am really lucky since most places I go with baby are walking distance. I am able to load up the BOB and Be set for our few hours out and about. I also have the option to drive, however rarely have the need to with only an infant. Once she is older I am sure we will drive more places.  It's really important to get out for a change of scenery even if baby isn't yet able to "play" like older kids in the places they visit. :)[/quote]
