Maybe taking Jordana out of daycare...

My sister just called me with an idea of sharing a nanny. We talked about this when we were deciding what to do with the daycare, but it never panned out.

My sister is a SAHM and has a babysitter for Sat. nights. Originally, she was going to be my nanny, but she way too much $$$ Far more than the going rate of $500/week. So then we put Jordana into daycare almost as expensive as my law school tuition.

Jordana has been had a runny nose and has been congseted for about a month. She had 2 days of being all better, and now she seems to have it all over again.

I'm also not happy about some of the administrative stuff. I am not allowed to bring my Bugaboo so we had to get another stroller to add clutter to our tiny 1 bedroom. Also, I was bringing in too much fresh milk, so now i have to freeze all the milk and give them a 1 week supply each week.

There are some things i love about the daycare, like Music Together comes there. And I like most of the teachers. Who knows.. I don't even know if it will pan out...

I think sharing a nanny is a great idea. I'm sure the lawyer in you will spell out the terms of sick care, etc in advance.

I think that is a great idea. It's always nice when they can be at home at her age.

Good Luck!!!!

err.. why would a bugaboo be disallowed?

I think sharing a nanny is great-

But as far as her runny nose from daycare goes:

My DS has been sick non stop for the past couple of months... when I ask the Dr why- (since my son rarely goes anywhere- and either Im home with him or his grandmas are)- he told me its from lack of being around germs-

He actually suggested bringing him to work with me 2 days a week(I do the billing in a daycare center & since I only work half days) to get him around people/children and to help build his immunites...

SO sometimes being home all day- is def. not the better alternative!

Just thought Id give you a POV from the other side of the fence!

She may have runny nose- but she isnt sick- and being where she is- is helping her to fight off other germies
