[quote=Anonymous]Me again. Not a first time mom. First time using a nanny though, for my third baby. And she is a lot less sick than my first two were. By this age I'd already made a couple of late night ER runs with a scary sounding croup cough with my first two kids; both of them got ear tubes for recurring ear infections by age one. New baby hasn't had an ear infection yet! I'm relieved to keep our baby healthy while she is so little. I never really bought into that "They'll get sick now or get sick later" thing that people say when they're trying to make you feel better about using day care. I used day care for both my first two children and they got sick a ton, and then got just as sick as everyone else once they began elementary school. Day care was overall a positive experience, but having a nanny now has reduced my stress level immensely as I balance working full time and being a mom of three. Anyway, not trying to be nasty or unreasonable. OP asked for thoughts, and my thoughts are that the request of the family making the job offer is reasonable. Reading all these comments makes me feel thankful for the lovely nanny we have; that she takes such great care of our baby and doesn't seem to resent to being able to drive her around and take her places.[/quote]
