[quote=Anonymous]It's up to you, OP. FWIW I am a younger nanny (31), also a former teacher with a lot of energy, and I don't plan to have kids for at least 5 years - but if I were, I'd be open about it like your candidate was because I want to be upfront and honest from the get-go. Parents who are thinking they might move toward daycare in a year won't be put off by her plans, while those who want a long term commitment will consider her unsuitable. She knows this and that is why she told you openly - so it wouldn't be a bitter shock if you hired her and she became pregnant and quit. If you want someone who can make more than a one year commitment, this is not the nanny for you. If one year is good enough for now, she sounds like she'd be great. (Incidentally when I took my current job both myself and my employers agreed one year was how long we wanted the arrangement to last - for different reasons. We are now moving into year three with a new baby to boot and neither of us wants to end our partnership now. Basically you never know and just have to go with your instincts on this!)[/quote]
