those that have a nanny

does your nanny drive LO anywhere?

We have a park and a strip mall (walmart, sears, trader joes, old navy, restaurants, etc) within walking distance so they go out every day.

But I'm starting to notice that LO needs interaction with other kids her age because she is only ever around me, DH or the nanny.  

We're considering having the nanny drive LO to the library for story time.  

What activities outside of the house does your nanny do with LO?

  • Library story time was my favourite outing with my charges.

    Other outings: swimming, local community league playgroup, informal home playgroup.

    In some cases I used a nanny car and in other cases I babywore and we used public transit.

  • You could probably have your nanny go to mommy playgroups.  I'm in a playgroup and the women there are so welcoming, I'm sure they'd be okay with a nanny joining.  It's really interaction among the kids that counts...the mommies don't become very close from what I can tell.

  • My nanny doesn't drive DS anywhere, and I prefer it that way...I'd worry too much I think otherwise, although I'm sure they'd be fine.  We live in a condo complex that has a playground, park, and pool.  We're also walking distance to the center of town with all the shops.  We're going to transition DS to a local day care center in early spring next year though so he'll get the chance to interact with other kids his age.  I think this is important, but I can't bring myself to put him in one until he's a little more self sufficient.  I wanted to wait until he's walking well and able to express himself.

  • Our nanny drives to the park, to library story time, and story time at Barnes and Nobles.

     I think we might start a music class at Gymboree soon so he gets more interaction with kids his own age.
