[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We would be bringing a separate Pack n Play for her to sleep in, but on another level. They do/will have gates to block two sets of stairs in the play area. The family feels confident in the nanny's judgment and in their own experience that the baby is closely watched and therefore nothing has happened/will happen. I think all bets are off when you add a second baby at the same stage. The families in this situation are new to nanny sharing; nanny isn't. DH is afraid that we will run the risk of insulting their parenting if we push back too much on or appear to want to go overboard. For our part, we have given away a few pieces of potentially risky furniture at our own place and are in the process of babyproofing a few items, so to be fair we haven't done it yet either nor do we claim to be experts. But I have a hard time thinking about leaving DD there as it stands. [/quote]

I'm with you. I would not be ok with this. Are bookcases and dressers secured? Are the cabinets wih cleaners baby locked?  The ther family is really underestimating the speed with which babies can move. And then they'll toddle and grab things and throw things. I get not wanting to question parenting of others to not create conflict but maybe you can gently prod? Say something like "we are so tired from securing all the stuff in the living room since larla has stated crawling and we are just waiting for her to get up and grab the book case and pull it on her".
