[quote=Anonymous]If it's a matter of comfort OP, would you be willing to adjust your expectations as the nanny stays with you over time?

Example: when I first started with my family, their DC was only 4 months old. So neighborhood walks/playing in the backyard were all we needed. Especially because some of this time was in the winter. It also helps that there were 2-3 playgrounds within walking distance.

Once their DC was close to a year and walking, they gave me a car seat for my car. This meant we could go to a library for story time and opened up at least 3 more playgrounds for us, as well as some indoor play spaces.

By the time their DC was 2.5, I was driving all over (within reason). We'd go to the bookstore for story time, libraries, parks, playgrounds. 
We'd meet up with other nannies at the playgrounds for play dates and picnics if our charges got along.

I understand that with two you might be thinking "how will she juggle two?" but for a lot of nannies, it's something we're very used to. And if she's an understanding nanny, she will happily text you before she leaves/when she gets to the location (if there is a destination)/when she gets back home.

I'm sure some might think that's overkill, but there have been times I will still do that with my MB. If it gives her peace of mind, why wouldn't I? [/quote]
