Nanny partnerships?

[Anonymous]

A friend in Los Angeles has two nannies who work as partners, 12 hour days with one working M-T and the other F -Sn, with one covering the other’s day if the nanny is sick. Full coverage seven days a week. I’d be interested in something like this because I’m deaf and a SAHM but with shorter hours (just covering when DH is at work so 10 hours a day) and weekends. Has anyone heard of this sort of two-nanny-partnerships around here?

I mean if you pay enough I can't imagine you'd have trouble finding someone (or two someones, technically). I'd have to think this would run you about $150K annually?

We’re okay with the cost. I would just like the promise of coverage if one can’t make it especially during the weekdays. That’s why the concept of the partnership is so appealing.

Why even have kids?

I get that. Good luck with your search! And ignore the silly person who said 'why have kid.'

You’re saying that because I’m deaf, I shouldn’t have children? You’re a horrid and hallow person.

My friends in NYC (both trauma Surgeons in emergency) have two nannies who are contracted to cover for each other. They weren’t partners to start out with and are each paid individually. But, yes, they do work as a team. If you can’t find an established partnership, you could definitely create one.

Good luck! And please do not listen to the idiot who asked why have kids. She’s a fat troll who posts the same thing on every thread. We pity her.

No, they are saying if your child is in someone else care 12 hours a day/7 days a week and you aren't parenting them, why have kids? It has nothing to do you with you being deaf and there is no reason if you are a stay at home you need that kind of care.

The difference is OP is a SAHM.

A SAHM who can’t hear her baby cry. If someone there with her makes her feel more comfortable, what the f is it to you?

Meaning she's actually around more than the trauma surgeons, so I'm not seeing your point? OP, jealousy is a hell of a drug.

First, OP said about ten hours a day while her husband is working.

Second, nannies with SAHMs don’t take over. I’ve known lots of wonderful and involved SAHMs who have full time nannies. The nanny goes with the mom and baby places, handles baby’s laundry, cooking, playroom and closet organization, and child clean up. Some good moms hire nannies with education or child psychology degrees to play or teach their child something they can’t.

It’s a big world out there, PP. I know I would be a better mother if I had that kind of help.

The nanny doesn’t take over in SAHP situations. The child is not in the nanny’s care all day everyday. For mothers who need or want the help, nannies can be great resources and hugely helpful. The nanny usually works alongside the parent.

OP is deaf and will be with her child more than a trauma surgeon. You really are the fat troll of the forum. And you have no clue how thousands of great mothers need extra help.
