[quote=Anonymous]How would this not be a great situation? You get to treat your nanny (whom presumably you like and respect as a human being) with compassion and allow her to have the joy of seeing her son interact with your child and Nanny will love you even more because you would just generally be cool employers.  Your child is not going to be neglected just because her son is in the room and this absolutely DOES NOT open the door to her thinking she can bring her son to work all of the time. Nannies are grown women capable of having personal/professional distinctions (but this is also a field where lines can be blurred a bit) so lets all calm down on the knee-jerk reaction that she will use this as an opportunity to take advantage of you. 
And to the "no play date" posters, have any of you dealt with multiples or siblings? An 11 month old would definitely benefit from some regular social interaction with a child their own age, even if it is just having to share their toys with each other. My current charges are very similar in age to my nephew and niece, we have a play date about once a week-all of the kids benefit, I get some adult interaction, and MB thinks its great. 
A little open mindedness in one's approach to childcare can go a long way. [/quote]
