[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I started my current position while MB was still on maternity leave - it gave us a good month of transition time so both mother and nanny could feel comfortable when MB did go back to work full time.  [/quote]
How old was the older child? 
How did you structure your work?[/quote]

The older children were 3 and 5.  The five-year-old was in all day kindergarten and the three-year old was in a short three hour nursery school in the mornings.  The MB and I worked together to get things done - I'd take the older kids, do pick up and drop off, play with them while the mother nursed or napped.  Then sometimes I would watch the baby while the mother hung out with her older kids.  Toward the end of her maternity leave, I took over everything (with the mother's help occasionally) until I had the routine down.  By the time the last few days of her maternity leave came around, she used the time to go clothes shopping for herself, get organized and get her hair cut and nails done - basically just relax.

It was nice working as a team for that month.  All involved were very comfortable when she went back to work - kid's included.  [/quote]
