[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who is this visit for? Is it so your son can spend time with his beloved nanny, or because the nanny would really like to see your son, or because you'd prefer to not leave him with the grandparents? Only in the case that the nanny has been begging you to find way to let her see your son do you have room to negotiate this fee. Even in that case, I'd suggest working out a short (free) visit or a few hours babysitting (paid) rather than paying a fortune for ... what, exactly?[/quote] My son hasn't asked to see his old nanny in a while - when we first moved he did but he's now well-established in our new city with a new school, new nanny, new friends, and hasn't asked in a while. My in-laws are awesome and he loves staying with them, so I have no issue with them taking care of him. I asked our former nanny if she would WANT to have him stay with her, trying to make it clear that we did not need this to happen. She had come to visit us over the summer and had been asking for another time to visit but we've been busy literally every single weekend since October and had been traveling a lot and it hadn't worked out, so I thought this might be a good chance for her to get to see him. So I guess that's the problem - I feel like I'm doing this as a favor to her rather than the other way around, so paying her $300 so she can see my son just seems like a lot. [/quote]
