[quote=Anonymous]22.57 here again. I would take working with a military family over a non-military family in most circumstances. The families I have known are very organized (no springing appointments on me at the last minute), appreciative and flexible when they can be. Yes, there are things that some would see as drawbacks, but I don't think they are insurmountable. A nanny either already knows what activities are available in the area for children, or she can find out easily. As long as you're clear about the schedule, your employer is unlikely to have an issue (they are extremely likely to line up several back ups in case the schedule changes). They are more likely to be open-minded about suggestions or advice, and they are very unlikely to micromanage as long as the end result fits the household. Most military families also value getting the kids out and moving, so they understand the balance of managed risk to personal independence.[/quote]
