[quote=Anonymous]I am the OP...thanks for your thoughts.  To be clear, I have already brought it up with her on a few occasions but she is just not the type to say, "I won't travel more than xx minutes to work for your family."  I have made it clear to her that we will remain Metro-accessible and that we don't want to make our move a hardship for her.  I think of it this way--if we had the kids in daycare, as we did when our older was a baby/toddler, we would definitely move to a location that allowed him to remain there if at all possible.  Similarly, we want to avoid having to make a change in our child care arrangement soon after moving, for all the reasons that others have mentioned--I think it would much harder for our kids to adjust to a move if it meant losing our nanny whom we all love.  (And I'm not sure I could handle the stress of buying a new home and finding a new nanny in one fell swoop either!)  Anyway--in the end I think our budget is going to limit us to areas that keep her commute the same or maybe shave off some time.  It was never the main consideration but we can't ignore it, either.
