[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, this extended trip business only works if you don't really need the nanny in the first place. (i.e. SAHM who can cover for a few weeks, or grandparents who can cover in a pinch). Most NFs I know take time to carefully select and orient their nannies/children and can't afford to do so multiple times a year or every other year. That's one of the reasons they choose nannies, for the continuity. (If they want to have new faces all the time, there is the au pair option, with its own challenges and benefits.) I agree with the PP. If at all possible, I don't want temporaries in my home and I don't want to leave my children with people that I haven't had the opportunity to become comfortable with. I would be very disappointed if paying $$$ for a nanny also required that I scramble for alternative care every year or two. Note: not talking about normal vacation time that we coordinate on and use as our own family vacation time. [/quote]
