It is SO frustrating. I have been considering a nanny since we moved here. I think you're on the right track, Karen.
Truly - the take absolutely wonderful care of Ryan and I've never had an agency so reliable before. BUT - she does not know how to "take care" of me. And the caregiver (me) has to be treated well too. If the caregiver stresses out - no one can do this longterm. I have to look after him at night - I don't like her demands on me all day.
Josh thinks we should go along with it for the short term so we don't rush into something new and possibly make a mistake in the process. The one saving grace is that she put in writing that she would not raise the price for the next 3 years. BUT - it just feels all wrong. And it makes me sick.
