[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't do that, it's terrible for you and for your child who will understand at some point that you're spending your day with other children. It's a terrible feeling ...[/quote]

Agreed.

I stayed home with my baby the first year and then started watching two siblings in my own home a couple days a week to supplement income.  Look up the laws in your state, here it was not considered a home daycare since both children were from one family.

It didn’t pay as well as when I nannies but worked well for us.

I have a friend who is a high profile travel nanny and ended up hiring a college nanny for her two boys.  I won’t lie.  I judge her.  She underpays her nanny (she’s NEVER accept the rate she pays her nanny) and is gone for weeks at a time to jet set to private islands with her wealthy clients and their kids.

I could never be comfortable having all these amazing experiences traveling with random rich children while I left my kid alone with someone else.  I do think it’s different from the lives of non-nanny working mothers.  So, not shaming women who work outside the house at all.  If I had a lucrative job in business or finance or was a doctor I’d be much more willing to work away from my child.  But as a nanny, no?  Cannot imagine anyone being at peace with themselves spending so much time with another persons child as their child is with someone else. [/quote]
