Hi there
I'm hoping some light and confidence can be shed on this by those with similar experience (working mothers/fathers) or local knowledge...
I have the opportunity to move to Manila for 2 years next year with my daughter who will be 1yo at that time. My husband has work commitments back in Australia still, so for the first year at least, he will only be with us for 1 month out of every 3.
My job will be at least 9-5, with some out of hours functions that I would need to attend throughout the month.
Should I be concerned leaving my young daughter in the sole care of a nanny during working hours? I would love to hear peoples thoughts/ opinions on this. Is there any advice for someone in my situation where I would essentially be a 'single' parent for 2/3rds of the year, with no one to keep track of the nanny and her treatment of my daughter during the day? I have anxieties about not only safety, but my daughter receiving the kind of care that will also develop her.
Appreciate any advice and thoughts that will help me make the right decision for my family and my career!
