[quote=Anonymous]I took 12 weeks of leave with both DC2 and DC3 and was very grateful to have our nanny full time both times. It was invaluable to have someone else to help out with the older kid(s) so that I could focus on the baby and then also be available to watch the baby when I wanted to spend time with the older kids. The continuity also helped the older kids adjust to life with a new baby in the house. I know that a lot of nannies don't like having the parents in the house because it throws off the routine of the kids, so I did my best to minimize disruption when the nanny was in her regular routine with the older kids. There were definitely times when I let her leave early or come in late (especially when family was visiting), but for the most part we tried to stick to a routine.[/quote]
