[quote=Anonymous]Hi all! We recently found out that our nanny is expecting a baby. We are absolutely thrilled for her, but as to be expected, we are trying to figure out what this means for our childcare situation. If I am being honest, I would really love to welcome the nanny back after she takes some maternity leave but the other family (part of a share) and my husband and I are concerned about multiple things.

1) We cannot afford to pay her while she is on leave as we will be covering the cost of a temporary caregiver. As much as I wish I could help out with that, we just cannot do it.
2) If she wishes to bring the baby to the share and we agree, how much attention will go towards her newborn versus the two toddlers?
3) We pay her fairly now and if attention is lost for the toddlers because of the need to care for her newborn, does that affect how much we should be paying each week?

I don't want it to seem like I am being harsh by thinking of these things but it is a concern for both families in the share. We don't want to lose our nanny but I am not sure what to do.

Anyone else experience this? If so, any advice? What am I not considering? I plan to have a heart-to-heart with our nanny soon where we can determine the wants from both sides.

Thank you! [/quote]
