[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nannies - we have a five month old and are hiring a nanny. We were just turned down by one woman who said that she was concerned that we were occaisionally working from home.

Any tips on how to approach the topic and make it workable for both parties?  I don't want to give up the option to work from home. I can often get more done and it cuts my commute time out / gives me more time with my DS.  I understand it could be disruptive, but there must be a way to make it work.

Thanks![/quote]

HI Mom, this comment is coming from a nanny of 20 years and worked in several family structures, this is about finding a good personality match between you and the nanny. The situation can work, but only if you work as a team. Honestly I thought I would never be able to work with a parent at home because of my type A personality but I was proven wrong. One of my best positions was with a Mom that was home allot and when she was not home the kids and I would meet for lunch, we took the kids shopping togther, we'll mom shopped and I did stroller fun with the kids, we just was a good team and the kids thrived.

Take time to find someone nanny that you work well with, it may take a couple tries but you can find it, just be open with the candidates.[/quote]
