[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Terrible, creepy idea.  I wouldn't hire a nanny that lacked the skills necessary to arrange play dates from our DDs current circle of friends.

The safety issues really are enormous.  [/quote]

OP here. It's great that your DDs has. a current circle of friends from which playdates can be easily arranged, but not all nannies and parents are as fortunate. Some neighborhoods, areas, etc. do not have many child focused centers, activities, and events where parents and nannies can meet up with each other to make such arrangements. And some individuals who attend these centers/activities may simply have no interest in being social (for w/e reason).

When children begin to attend school, it's easier to find playmates for them. But when they're babies, too young for school, or simply do not yet attend, it can be much more difficult. Hence, the concept of this proposed site is to connect nannies and SAHPs with other nannies and SAHPs who wish to form social interactions for their children/charges and themselves because they have difficulty finding it elsewhere, or they want to broaden their scope outside of what resources they may have.

As many PPs have mentioned, safety is the biggest issue with this idea, and what prompts them to oppose it. My goal is to feel out the best way to address this issue using comments from this forum and other sources.

In short, if the site provided excellent security to protect all parties involved, especially the children, than would the concept interest you? Does it show potential?[/quote]
