[quote=Anonymous]Wow, this has got to be one of those "flame the mom/nanny wars" thread hijacks. We've used both nannies and mothers helpers; as a couple of helpful pp's noted, the mother's helper was really there to help me with more than just child-centeric work. We recently employed a mothers helper (she was 22, not 13 for pete's sake) who was a nursing student. She would do pick up and drop off for our school aged kiddos, then help me with shopping, dinner prep for the family, running errands. When the kids were home, she would entertain them with the same level of engagement as our former nannies. I would never ask our nanny to pick up my dry cleaning or fold my husbands laundry--so the difference, for us, was she really was there to help me keep the whole house running, kids included.[/quote]
