[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think stability is one of the most important things for a child, as an MB I see that the bond my children (6 and 2) have with their nanny is deeply important to them. Though I, as an adult, have many annoyances with our nanny at times (and I am sure she with me) I put in effort to keep things stable for the children. That includes allowing nanny to bring her young children to work when she needs to, which my children actually love. There are many benefits of having a nanny with children. I am sure there are more perfect nannies out there and to be honest I am sometimes tempted to try someone new when I see glowing recommendations on my neighborhood listserve, but from a child's perspective consistency in the adults in their lives is crucial.[/quote]

You are doing a disservice to your children settling for a nanny who is not excellent because you're afraid of change. You are also being taken advantage of by your nanny!

Kids will have many beloved caretakers who will only be in their lives for a year or less. Healthy children adjust well to these changes and it's important to teach them resilience as their lives will be full of change. It's far more important that children have the best care rather than mediocre care for a longer length of time.[/quote]
