[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you’re wildly overestimating how much someone will pay for this set up. It’s basically a nanny share but with a very biased nanny favoring her own kids. Especially if you’re expecting “flexibility” in terms of schedule. I expect my daycare to be open all day every workday except federal holidays. [/quote]

This. It's basically an overcrowded nanny share with an inexperienced, heavily biased nanny. For me, those three things would be a hard no.

Its 3 kids. How is that overcrowded? I know people trying to split nanny shares between 3 sets of parents. That's called a pod lady and no - I'm not taking your 2-year-old and your 4-year-old for less than $500 a week.[/quote]

Then I wouldn’t take this deal. You want similar to normal nanny shares in the area. I’d of course rather have a nanny who isn’t only in it to care for her own kids, which I can have for the price. [/quote]

You can't have a nanny who is a former teacher with credentials at that price in this area during Covid-19 - trust me. The base price is $20/hr plus overtime for 1-2 toddlers or 1 newborn. If you're looking at 40 hours a week that's $800/wk plus PTO.  Some parents are going up to $22-$23/hr to get the good ones.[/quote]

Even assuming that is true, OP is proposing one infant (her own) and 2 other kids, who also could be young.  That's very different than 1-2 toddlers or 1 newborn.  Also, it appears that OP is expecting each family to pay $500 -- that's getting more expensive than what you just laid out given that it is a shared arrangement.  And, to the extent there is a Covid premium, that might not still be in play come next year.

I also think you are over estimating the premium that people will pay for teaching credentials with young kids.  As others have said, experience with babies is more important than being able to teach reading.[/quote]

OP also has a kindergartener and hasn't explained what she plans to do with the kindergartener because even if K is in session...what happens after school? Does OP run out with all three kids to meet the bus?  And what happens when OP wants her flexibility to nurse?

I honestly would not feel comfortable with this setup, which would mean my kids would really just be ignored by a full time mom of a baby and a kindergartener.[/quote]
