[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Of the families we interviewed, the nanny prefers the family that lives in Maryland. The family will be bringing their child to our house exclusively. The arrangement gives me pause because I fear that the family may realize that commuting with an infant is a pain and find a different arrangement closer to their home. [/quote]

We had a similar arrangement when our older child was in a share and actually specifically sought out child care near work. We both had long commutes and did not want our son that far away in an emergency, so care near home wasn't a good option. I won't say commuting with a baby was fun, but we would make the same choice again. (Younger child went to a share close to home but only because one parent working from home by then.)

If one parent works in MD and the other near you, I might be concerned that they'll reconsider. If they both work in the District I wouldn't give it a second thought. It's also totally fair to ask them directly about it, too.[/quote]
