[quote=Anonymous]OP the questions you raise are the easy ones, in the sense there are many small logistical details but you can just work through them with the nanny. For example on food you can just ask and maybe nanny will say she will bring food for her kid, and with bathroom my nanny would take my toddler with her. The tough questions are about whether your nanny would be able to multitask well/show favoritism, if the kids get along, etc. it’s hard to start with a new nanny who brings a child as opposed to a long time nanny who has a child and starts bringing her infant. In the latter case your nanny already has an existing bond with the kids and knows their needs/personalities, and you likely have at least one older child who would be able to give you signs if the nanny’s behavior changes drastically. With a new nanny it is much tougher and you might be second guessing all the time whether the nanny is neglecting your child or it’s a normal adjustment.
At the very least I would ask the nanny to do a trial with her child coming along. Individual child behavior probably trumps any general pros/cons of different ages.[/quote]
