I'd check references really carefully.  But I would do that anyway.  It could be great, but I would worry a little that she's doing this because she thinks it's fun, or because she's focused on the benefit to her own child, and that she might quit abruptly if she realizes it isn't that fun to have 2, or that she might prioritize her daughter over your child.

A week.  Most daycares for toddlers around here run about $800 a week.  Granted they offer more hours but I really don’t need more than 30.

I’ve called three references but she offered a long list.  She was a professional nanny for 15 years.

Yes, honestly my biggest concern is her deciding it’s not worth it but I guess that could happen with any nanny, even one in our home.  [/quote]

I actually think that is a very appropriate weekly price. She is watching her own kid, too. She isn't a licensed daycare. [/quote]

Yeah, it’s certainly not alarmingly low. She probably took the average weekly price and knocked it down due to those factors. [/quote]
