[quote=Anonymous]Btdt.  The youngest was 3, almost 4 I left.  Then, the youngest was 5.5 when I returned.  All of the kids were glad to see me, and we fell quickly back into a similar routine.  They knew the expectations I have (I expect your best try, not perfection.  Everyone makes mistakes; own up to them and fix the situation.), and they knew better than to push me (no, I’m not going to believe Dad let’s you disappear to the park for two hours, no matter how old you are...).  Single parent household, 24/7, large family, very hard to find a nanny.  I get it, OP.

Kids are 4, 3 and 1.  1yo doesn’t know you, and you’ll just be yet another face.  4yo will cling, and may have issues separating.  3yo may remember you vividly or may remember just feelings.  Kids are malleable, but I would worry about the youngest child’s attachment.  8 nannies in under a year is insane...

The parents would be my sticking point.  Part of the reason I returned to my previous family was that I knew my DB respected me.  He knew how hard the position was and tried to make it easier.  We were on the same page for goals for the kids, and when we disagreed, we discussed away from children at the possible opportunity.  I couldn’t handle returning to a family if I knew that my MB and DB would be like yours.[/quote]
