Hi,
For those of you that have nannies, have you ever had a nanny who brought her own kid to your house on a regular basis while caring for your child? We've recently started interviewing nannies, and I've received this request multiple times. My initial instinct is that this should not be a problem, so long as it's only one other baby. But, when I give it more thought, I worry that attention will be taken away from my baby.
Has anyone else had an arrangement like this? Did it work out? Would you say no from the get-go?
Overall, I'm not too confident we'll find a nanny. I tried CL, which turned up very few applicants, and only two that I considered meeting. The first canceled her appointment, and I didn't like the second after interviewing her. I am on Care.com now, and again there are only a few people I want to talk to, which is why I think I'm flexible re: having nanny bring her own kid.
Thoughts?
