[quote=Anonymous]If faced with two equally qualified nannies, one of whom had young children and one who did not, I would hire the one without young kids. As any parent of young kids knows, they get sick. They get sick a fair amount, little head colds, flus, ear infections, etc... It goes with the territory. If a mother doesn't have a childcare option in place that includes being home w/ a sick child, then the mother or father has to stay home (generally). So why would I choose a nanny who will be facing the exact same childcare challenges that I face, and that drive me to hire her in the first place? I assume that a mother of young children will need days off unexpectedly and that is the single most difficult thing for me to accommodate. It's a shame, but it's the reality.[/quote]
