Take the job or not?

MoonMama wrote: Ok guys I need your thoughts and opinions on this one.. I have been mulling it over for the last 2 weeks, DH simply says its yours choice I'm fine ether way. A lot of you know before I had Braedin I was a full time in home nanny. I had the wonderful opportunity to nanny for a great family friend. My older brothers life long best friend, this guy literally watched me grow up. He and his wife have one little girl who is now 15 months old. I only worked with them for about 8 1/2 months. They knew full well when I became pregnant and was getting ready to deliver I would be quitting. No big they were fine with that, as his wife works solely by choice.
Well after I left back at the beginning of October 2006, his wife quit her job and only recently went back when her mom came to visit for a few months from Russia, but she is now going back home. Well they called me and asked me if I would by chance be interested in being their daughters nanny again. They said aside from her grandma I am the only other person they really trust with her and that his wife really likes her job.
The plus is I can watch her at my house or theirs and I can of course have Braedin with me. It would be less hours then I had before and the extra money for me (DH said it would be my money to do with as I please, and that was his only request in the whole thing ) would be fun, and I am kind of bored without working. And we all think it would be great for both kids to have some interaction with another child. It would probably only be for a year or so as they plan to have another baby in the next year, at which time she will become a full time SAHM. What would you do? Should I go back to work or say no?

If you enjoy it enough to give up your flexibility then go for it! Who couldn't use the extra $$$?

HuskerMom replied: I say go for it. It sounds like fun and a little extra money never hurts!

Jamison'smama replied: Sounds nice...and really, you can go out and do things with 2 kids almost as easily and the kids will have fun being together.

mckayleesmom replied: I would say go for it.....What is one more child to take care of?

Nina J replied: Go for it, it'd be fun for you and Braedin and you'll get some extra money

CantWait replied: Sounds like really you've already made up your mind.

A&A'smommy replied: I would BUT I would do it in my home that would be my only thing!!! DIG down do you REALLY want to do it because if you do I say go for it!!!

BabyOwen427 replied: That sounds like an awesome job and I would love to be in your position cause I'd take it in a minute. Even if it is only for a year or so Brae would have a build in buddy because once they have another baby you aren't just going to cut them out of your lives and with the kids being so close you'd always have an automatic playdate. I say take it.

Wow, I think I just rambled most of that out. If it's not understandable it's cause I need to go to bed.
