We Have Odra As Our Nanny And You Don't

Mom needed to go back to work, and Dad had three weeks until his hiatus. We needed to find someone to take care of Hannah fast. We asked our good friend Mel for a recommendation and she introduced us to Odra, the sister-in-law of her own nanny.

Simply put: Odra is awesome!

Hannah and Odra hit it off immediately. Odra has over 12 years of nanny experience and it shows. She has been very supportive with Hannah's sleep schedule and we have adjusted our routine according to suggestions. She plays with Hannah in ways we haven't even thought of. She helps us out with chores while Hannah is napping. And best of all, she has her own system of introducing solids that is way more focussed and effective than ours.

A month ago I was hesitant to leave Hannah in the care on someone other than family for three weeks. But with Odra around for just over a week so far, we already wish we had her longer!

is her plan for introducing solids: a spoonful of sugar helps the solids go down? and can she fly with an umbrella?
