[quote=Anonymous]Have a conversation with her. Enlist her as an ally in figuring it out. Acknowledge that it may be rough at first as you both figure out the best way to manage the new baby and the toddler, who probably won't want to be away from you and his sibling all the time. Promise her that if it's going badly, you will talk about it and adjust. And if you have any things that are important to you, like being able to actually live in your house during the day, work with her to make it happen. I did this three times. All three times, the nanny kept the older kids' schedule the same, and sometimes watched the baby while I went out with them. Pretty quickly, they adapted. I mean, the nanny was a lot more fun than me and an infant, anyway.[/quote]
