[quote=Anonymous]Our nanny wants to take a 3-week trip to her home country. She has been a blessing to us, and we want to accommodate her, but it will be a pretty big strain for us. I'm wondering what others have done -- it just seems like such a long time. If we get a temporary nanny, it seems like the baby (who will turn 1 right around the time of nanny's vacation) will have gotten into a groove with her by the time our beloved nanny returns. And, I really don't like the idea of introducing someone new to our 1-year-old, for just a couple of weeks.

We also have a 4-year-old and always strive for consistency with caregivers, which is my main problem with this arrangement.

So, I guess I know the answer is clear -- we need a temporary nanny.

But, how has your similarly-aged child done with a temporary caregiver? This would have been a total no-go with our oldest, who had a lot of stranger anxiety from ages 2 months and on (but ultimately outgrew it). But, her little brother is more chill and will go to other people, so it could work okay with him. Just looking for some advice.[/quote]
