[quote=Anonymous]Our nanny has asked if she can bring her own grandchild to our house once per week.  Her young daughter had a baby who is close in age to our newborn.

This seems like an aggressive ask to my husband and me.  I don't feel comfortable with this, as we intentionally hired a private nanny so that our newborn would get 100% of her attention.  It seems like this would mean we effectively have a nanny share when she brings her grandchild, without the cost benefit.  Our nanny also spends large amounts of time taking our newborn out of the house, which she spends with other nannies.  It's hard for me to imagine that she wouldn't be spending a fair amount of that time showing her friends her own grandchild, and our newborn is likely to receive less attention.  If both are crying, it's also hard for me to imagine our newborn getting the same attention when I'm not watching.

I want to be reasonable.  She's trying to help her daughter return to school.

Our nanny also did not mention that she wanted to bring her grandchild once per week in her interviews.

Any perspectives from other parents in this situation would be helpful.[/quote]
