[quote=Anonymous]I have three personal experiences with this.  
A. My kid was 2.5 and we tried a nanny who brought a 6 yr old.  (In my home.) Nanny quit after 3 months. She ran around town running errands and living her own life with my kid tagging along. She was upset that my kid freaked out on a coffee and shopping trip she went on with her friend when nanny asked her friend to hold my kid so she could fix her own 6 yr olds seat belt.  My kid apparently didn't calm down for 10 min.  If she hadn't quit I'd have fired her for that. 
B.  Next nanny had an 18 month old, also my home.  This nanny's child made an absolute mess in my kitchen.  Sticky fingerprints everywhere.  The nanny may have cleaned up her kid but not my high chair, walls, floor, etc. After 2 months she quit saying my 2.5 year old was bullying her child.  
C.  Current nanny going on 5 years.  Wonderful.  I now have 2 kids and her kid is a year older than my eldest. They are bffs.   The downside is my younger kid gets dragged around town for an hour every day to pick her kid up from school.  All in all it has been a harmonious arrangement for both of us.  I can't believe I took a 3rd chance but it has worked out great.  Note that my nanny expects full pay even though she technically brings baggage to the job (her sweet kid is not actual baggage - I just mean that I don't have full control of the day like I would otherwise.  Her child is a factor in the schedule.)  After our negative childcare experiences, we gladly pay full freight.  [/quote]
