[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the responses, everyone. To be clear, my son would be 2 years, 4 months when the nanny would start. I asked about the 2-4 age range because he will start public pre-k two years later, at 4. [/quote]

Sorry, this is the OP again. The infant would be 2 months old, although I could be on maternity leave till 4 or 5 months. I was thinking of having the nanny overlap with my maternity leave because my son would need a new care situation from September on and I don’t want him to transition twice. This could also help him get to know her and have more individual attention at first, and I could have some help with the two kids. [/quote]

This is far different from what you implied in to OP.  If you are committed to caring for the baby during maternity leave, allow the nanny to both bond with your 2.5yo and set up a schedule of activities, play dates and exercise.  Your infant will be taken along once you go back to work, but it could work.

However, I strongly caution against starting the nanny just after the birth.  You want to give your child time between each change, preferably at least 2-3 months.  It would also give you time to find someone you really like and won’t be stressed and sleep-deprived yet.[/quote]
