2. Interested in nanny share? Any good nanny recs?

 Hi all - I'm looking to hire a new nanny starting in
 January. I am a stay at home mom and only want someone
 part time to help with my babies and also to help me
 around the house. I was curious if any of you might be
 interested in doing a nanny share of sorts where the
 nanny would be at your house part of the week and my
 house part of the week. This would be different from
 most nanny shares in that s/he wouldn't watch four kids
 at once taking turns at both houses but have two kids
 at a time and be at your house approximately 20 hours a
 week and mine approximately 20 hours. Considering a lot
 of nannies are looking for full time work, I thought
 this might be a good setup for someone. Let me know if
 you might be interested or have thoughts along these
 lines by emailing me at heathernodelman at gmail.com. If
 you know of any good nannies looking for work, please
 pass those names along as well!

3. outdoor kid slide

laurasanfrancisco - 12/15/2011 10:34 pm

 We live in a house with a very steep backyard. We are
 thinking of making it a bit more kid friendly and would
 like to add a slide into the hill we have. A side from
 the plastic slides I see online, do you know of a local
 company (preferably) that sells other slides, made out
 of something else than plastic (don't know what)?
 thanks

4. McMoyler Method or Day One for Newborn Care Class??
--------------------------------------------------------
lhsizemore - 12/15/2011 7:29 pm

 My husband and I are trying to decide which class will
 be most beneficial in preparing us for our twins
 arrival. We are thinking about the McMoyler Method
 Course 102 - Infant CPR, Breastfeeding and Newborn Care
 Class or the Day One Newborn Care Class along with the
 Infant and Child CPR Class. Would appreciate hearing
 your experiences with these classes, as well as any
 others that you felt were helpful and beneficial. 
 Thanks so much!!

Topic: Question about background check for nanny candidate

 I found a fantastic nanny candidate for my children, and
 immediately fell in love...

 First, this happened to me with a woman who may just be
 the same person -- a seasoned pro. The interview was
 over. Background checks are standard. many nannies
 come with their Trustline info.Further, we offered to
 do the check through a third party attorney, so we
 would not see a single thing about her. All we would
 ask is that the attorney tell us if there were any
 'issues' which would be previously defined.So, I am
 100% behind you. Are you looking for a FT nanny? Feel
 free to email me if you want some nanny leads. I just
 hired someone after a long search.

 I agree, and think you did the right thing too. We
 have background checked some but not all of our
 caregivers. The ones we didn't were because they had
 previous employment with a state child-care/teaching
 organization, so felt that their proof of employment
 there was good enough b/c they probably do more
 thorough checking than Trustline.I think it's a
 definite red flag - we had someone else who said the
 same thing to us and it was a deal breaker. She said
 something like "trustline goes to far, if I have a
 disagreement with my neighbor it shouldn't have
 anything to do with my being a good nanny" ummmm...yeah
 it does.

 If you were going to pay "over-the-table," you would
 have needed her SSN whether or not you did a
 background check. It may be that she doesn't have an
 SSN, and that's part of her concern.

Topic: My 16 month old twins don't seem to like each other
at all!

 Since the very beginning, my b/g twins have seemed rather
 oblivious of each other...

 I don't have a personal experience to share and I'm not
 an expert on twins and development. That said, what
 you've described to me sounds normal. As an outsider
 reading about it what I see are twins who want you all
 to themselves and who are still engaged in parallel
 play. When my kids "play together" all they're really
 doing is coincidentally playing with the same thing at
 the same time instead of stealing it. Have you talked
 to your pediatrician about it?

 Could it be that they do not need each other because
 there are always many adults available for them to play
 with? I think that they are still rather young,
 according to what I have read kids mostly "parallel
 play" until they are two. That was the reason I did not
 put mine in day care before they turned 2. Though, I
 think mine were more interested in each other, I
 remember them first really interacting when they were 6
 months old. they were shrieking at each other and
 laughing and having a blast. When they were around 15
 months old they played fill and spill together - they
 would fill a container with shaker eggs together and
 then my son would spill it on himself. But other than
 that they did not play together much until recently
 (they are two now). Still their games often end in
 screaming and sharing conflicts, but they do look for
 each other every morning (they sleep in different
 rooms) and are happy to see each other. I was always
 wondering how other people's twins held hands - mine
 never did. Guess what - they just started doing it in
 the car! So just wait and yours will get there too.
