[ - ] DH and I have to go out of town for about 10 days. Db will be staying with my mother, and nanny will be going to my mother's everyday. Aside from buying her a train ticket and covering any cabs, do I have to do anything else for the nanny since she will be working in an alternate location? TIA. 13 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More
