[quote=Anonymous]Pros for host:
You don't have to get your kid up and schlep them soemwhere first thing in the morning; you just stay where you are.
Likewise, you don't need to double check that you are bringing enough bottles, diapers, etc.
If you have a great nanny she may opt to do some little things like sweep the kitchen or throw in a load of dc's laundry every now and then
If you ever want to ask nanny to stay late, she won't need to transport dc to a new location
Baby gets consistent place to nap, and may nap better on weekends because of it

Cons of hosting:
You will have slightly higher utility bills qnd slightly more wear and tear (how much depends on your current set-up, nanny, location and layout of house and age of kids)
The schlepping of kids and stuff mentioned above
Your kid is playing with their toys all day at your house, vs. playing with other people's toys and being excited to see his/her stuff at night
You have to have space for two beds, double stroller, etc
If the other family is late, it intrudes on your evening.[/quote]
