[quote=Anonymous][quote]Calling it a "so-called benefit" let's me know that you're not thinking about this at all from your employer's perspective. I wonder if your husband isn't tainting your thoughts on this. It is absolutely 100% a benefit to YOU and not at all to your employers. Its actually a negative to your employers because it means that the boys will have to share your attention. And if she's been great about everything else like you said, then I'm sure she's not saying your baby comes second always. She's just making sure you're not making the boys stay inside all day playing by themselves while you take care of a baby (which having nannied for twins, you know is a lot of work).

You will rarely find parents willing to allow their nanny to bring along the nanny's child because it's an inconvenience to the employer that they really don't need to settle for. If you've found in that will be happy to let you bring along your baby, consider hard whether this is something you want to turn down. Especially at this point, it will be difficult to set up a daycare, move, or find another nanny share so close to your due date. Sorry, OP. Having a baby is expensive and you have I make difficult choices. Welcome to motherhood  [/quote]

+1000 OP your employer is being VERY nice to offer this to you.  You should realize that your employer did not go looking for a nanny bringing her child for a lower rate. This is a risk to your job security because if your employer becomes frustrated with the situation or notices that her children are not receiving the same level of care then she can easily afford to hire a nanny who does not bring her child. I know two people who tried this and eventually needed to let their nanny go because it just was not working out. The benefit is 100% to you and there is no way 4 and 7 year old boys are getting anything out of you having a newborn around. Your perspective that you should somehow stay at the same or close to the same rate and bristling at the employer's request that her kid's schedules not change to accomodate your child's schedule is pretty bad. Your husband being offended is ridiculous. Chances are that this will not work out and you will not only be out of job but out of a future reference.[/quote]
