[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the purpose of your post?[/quote]

OP.  My purpose got totally lost while writing my post, sorry!  I have no idea what it's like taking care of both a toddler and baby, but I've heard that it can be very hectic, esp. if they have conflicting nap schedules and/or are sharing a room, which eventually, they would.  I imagine I will really benefit from the help of someone who will be proactive and take initiative in helping out, i.e., take care of things without asking me every time, which I think an experienced nanny who has been with us eight months would be able to do, but DC's nanny does not.  And I also remember a nanny or two saying that there are extra skills involved taking care of a toddler and NB vs. just one child.  And DC's nanny does not have this experience.

So.... the point of my post is to ask whether people out there, MBs and nannies, think it makes sense for us to keep DC's nanny if we have a second child, balancing her weaknesses (inexperience, lack of initiative) against her strengths, which I probably did not elaborate on enough - her flexibility in helping out as much or as little (as 20 hours) as we need and her willingness to help out in whatever way she can (she has even cleaned part of the apt for us, even though we never asked her to).
