[quote=Anonymous]OP here. I'm having twins. My mother is going to look after the babies two mornings per week, one day they're going to my sister's who is a SAHM and for two days a nanny friend of mine who is an after school nanny will look after them (I'll be hiring her properly and paying her well, obviously). I'm fine with the logistics and finances - I've been saving up for this so I am staying home until they're at least 6-8 months, and then I'm working half-days until they're three.

Ideally, I would have preferred to find a nanny family and bring them with me, but I haven't been able to find a single family who'd be happy with this arrangement with twins. Understandably so to be honest!

What I'm wondering is if having my own kids will change the way I feel about any nanny kids and if leaving mine with a stranger will make me resent having to look after some new random children. I usually form strong bonds with my nanny kids and rarely with daycare kids, so I feel like it's safer to stay working at the daycare. But I'm very curious to hear from people who left their small children at home to work as nannies! [/quote]
