[quote=Anonymous]Our wonderful nanny has been with us for 21 months since DS was born.  DH and I were on the fence about daycare vs nanny due to the expense but decided to go with a nanny for our baby.  He loves his nanny and she has been wonderful with him.

Three months ago my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer.  She and my Dad live 1.5 hours away from us.  She had surgery, a round of chemo and radiation and needed me many nights after work and on weekends.  DH works a lot and I needed him with me most of the time for physical (lifting my mother at times), driving and emotional support.  I was a mess with worry and struggled to keep it together at work.

But the one thing I never had to worry about was my son.  Nanny was there for him, took on the extra days and hours, and he was as comfortable with her as with DH and I.  When I would tell him that Nanny was going to put him to bed that night he'd smile and say, "Yay!".  His life was virtually unchanged.  Nanny was also a wonderful comfort for me.

My mother has a great chance of beating this dreaded illness and it has been a tough road for our family but having our nanny made everything so much easier.

You never know what might happen.  If you on on the fence like we were - go with a trusted and loving nanny.  [/quote]
