[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't want a nanny who's a mother. I don't want you deciding that if something is good enough for your child it's good enough for mine. I don't want you to resent my child because I can afford things for her you can't afford for yours. I don't want you comparing them. I don't want to worry you'll bring colds from your child into our house. I don't want you cutting corners to rush to get home to your own child. I don't want to worry you'll need time off when your child is sick. It's just easier to hire someone who's not a parent. [/quote]

These are all the things I'm concerned about with hiring a nanny who's a mom.  That said, I've hired a nanny who has 3 children, one who is close in age to my own baby.  She had wonderful references, but I am certainly still concerned about the above-mentioned issues.  I'll see if it works out.  If it doesnt, I'll have to move on to someone else.  To add to the list above, I'm also concerned about her wanting to bring her child with her at some point.  But like I said, we'll see.[/quote]

If you are that worried, then you should give her notice and let her find a job where she can be fully accepted and not worried about. It seems that many MB's just can't handle the fact that their nannies may just have other things in their life besides their job. Too bad your corporate employers can't discriminate legally the way nanny employers can. If you have kids, you should be able to get a job you are qualified for. It's kind of ridiculous actually. You have to take time off for your kids and the same courtesy should be extended to those you employ. [/quote]
