I haven't done this, but I think that it could work out. Just be aware that your ds will be getting less attention, much the same way he would if you had a second dc. [ Reply | More

I have no experience of this but I do have experience of looking after a newborn and a toddler full time. The main difference I have noticed is that I can no longer manage to take my ds out to the Park, zoo etc alone as he runs off and I can't leave the baby in the stroller to chase after him. If your toddler isn't a runner then I think it could work out but he won't get as much attention. [ Reply | More

I have heard of this, but it makes me so sad to think she would have to leave her baby all day to watch someone else's child. Not your fault, just couldn't imagine doing it. [ Reply | More

well, if she's been with you a long time and you really feel she's committed to your son, you could give it a try, if you'd be ok ahead of time knowing she'd be dividing her attention somewhat. [ Reply | More

your kid will no longer get as much attention, but who do you think will get the attention when the baby is tired, hungry, fussy, etc.? I would not do it. [ Reply | More

my SIL had a situation like this for a long time. actuallky, it was her kid's nanny who brought her own daughter who was first pregnant, and then the daughter and her new son. i know it sounds odd, but it worked. the nanny and her daughter helped out. extra hands. and ultimately more people for her kids to play with.

My friend did this while she was the nanny and brought her baby with her to work. Both families really loved it. The kids enjoyed each other. Friend moved away and still talks to her former employer all the time. How old is your ds? [ Reply | More

NP and I have a nanny like this who has three kids. She gas brought all of them from time to time (not all 3 together) and it has always been great. She's wonderful and loves my son like one of her own, and I've never worried about her favoring her kids over him. Also, he's been to stay over at their house and feels really at home, which is a big plus (he's 2 now, she's been with us since he was 5 mos). I saydo it if you really love her. It's hard to find a nanny you trust the way you seem to trust her. [ Reply | More

I posted above about my nanny w/3 kids. Your gut seems to be telling you to work it out, so go for it. As I said, a nanny who you really trust is worth hanging on to, and if you respect her, she'll treat your child well. GL [ Reply | More
