[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the nanny who previously posted that I was bringing my child to work. PP, I do not really appreciate what you are insinuating. I am not a liar, I do work with three families and I do bring my child with me. I am paid what I am worth and my families agree with it. I have been working with one of them for over two years and the bringing of my child has never been a problem or obstacle. 
Now, I never said it was easy to find a job. In fact, I did mention in my post that it will be tougher to find a decent position, but it is possible. When I place an ad, I always mention that my child comes with me and I do get contacted by families who just love the idea. I do not force it on anyone and I do understand that it is not a situation for everyone. But, please, do not act as if you were above it all. Be open-minded and understand others may have different ideas, ways or needs than yours. [/quote]

I am the PP you are talking to.  I understand that you may have found a good situation but my point was that the reality is that this is EXTREMELY rare.  I really cannot think of a reason why an MB would CHOOSE a nanny who wants to bring her child over one who does not if all else is equal. The only real instances this has a benefit for the MB is if the nanny has a very unusual skill set that is valuable to that family, the nanny and family already have a very close relationship (OP's case), or there is a significant financial benefit to the family.  The socialization aspect is not really a benefit for the family - you can get that from a nanny share, from playdates or preschool, or music and gym classes without all of the downsides that go with it.  Every time this topic comes up, dozens of MBs post about how this is a terrible option for families and only rarely do any even post that they would be willing to try it, let alone pay a nanny a full salary for it.  Just trying to paint a full picture for OP.  [/quote]
