[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm an MB and while I've never been in the position of your employer (second child, with toddler and nanny already) I would just say that she might be surprised at how much she actually does want you there. My advice would be to stay flexible. The mother may be wanting to make sure she gets quality time w/ the toddler as much as the baby - so maybe you'll be shifting off in which you're primarily handling each day. Or she may desperately need sleep, so having you there to take both kids for a few hours might be more necessary than she imagines now. Or you might be able to just encourage her to get out of the house for lunch w/ a friend (or her husband) after a few weeks. This can all vary greatly from one individual to the next, of course, but the mother might find that the second baby is a different thing to manage when she already has a toddler. So be flexible and supportive. You sound lovely. [/quote]
