[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

[b]I am proud mother of three and a happy nanny. If you are worried about these issues, why did you hire this nanny in the first place?. First, I am a nanny but I would never do something to your child without your consent. Second, I would not resent your child because of the things I would not be able to afford for my own child. I'm satisfied with whatever I can afford for my kids. Also, why would I compare your child to mine? There is nothing there to compare. Even parents without nannies have germs in their homes and allow kids to become sick. What if the situation was vise versa? And the germs that I brought home allowed my children to become sick. If you don't want the nanny cutting corners to rush home, why not come home earlier to address the situation? Instead of worrying about giving time off to the nannies when their child becomes sick, why can't they just use their PTO days for personal uses. I am positive that you would take off a day or two to worry about your baby or yourself having health issues. What would be the difference with nannies? Even if my MB would ask me to bring my child to work, I would not because of their demanding needs.

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]
