[quote=Anonymous]I often, though not always, bring our nanny with us for dr. visits. I have twins, so especially when they were little it was extremely helpful to have a second adult to hold a baby, comfort after shots, etc... Sometimes there are medications that need to be given and it can be helpful for our nanny to hear the conversations around that, how the doctor talks with the child, etc... I also want our nanny to feel comfortable taking a child in if it's necessary and a parent can't get there quickly - so it's helpful for her to know how the doctor's office works, for the doctor to have met her, etc... The first choice is always for a parent to take a child, of course, but knowing that we're set up for the nanny to be able to handle emergencies or illness is critical - so we very intentionally include her. We've had 2 nannies for our kids and they have both wanted to be included for the visits, for all of the reasons above and also just as part of their overall care and concern for our kids.[/quote]
