    I should look into getting a nanny. Having one while traveling would be great for so many reasons. My husband and I could actually enjoy a dinner together!

    Actually, not all nannies opt to travel with parents- not surprisingly.
    The dynamics of having to deal with extended family, or even the immediate family at large, being in unfamiliar territory- not being in control of one's environment are not things most people look forward to.

    That being said, there are some nannies(for the right price) who will travel with parents; the bottom line is to make sure you ask the person you are considering hiring as a nanny what her policies are in regards to travelling eith families instead of assuming that you've got a built in babysitter for your family.

    I often see travelling personality clashes, There are some of my friends that I love dearly but I would never travel with them.

    My best friend has agreed to acompany me to Germany and act as my nanny, I am a single mom so doing it alone frightens me
