[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see a lot of people suggesting hiring different sources but I’m not sure I’d have the mental energy for that. I’d rather interview some qualified Nannie’s that are willing to do household tasks too, but one that I can trust so that it can hopefully be someone that stays with my family for several years.[/quote]

How old are your kids?

If you are paying $6,000/mo for a nanny, that's $1500/week. I am certain that you can find a nanny for cheaper than that because that's an insane childcare bill. Kids are expensive, but there SHOULD be differences in cost for an elementary schooler who just needs aftercare and an infant who needs 3 naps and bottles. [/quote]

For THREE kids? Yeah, you’re wrong. Do you live in Tulsa, OK or something?[/quote]

The nanny would have the kids for three hours a day.  Fifteen hours of work does not equal $1500 a week.  That’s what we are trying to get OP to realize.  [/quote]

Nobody is going to take a job and show up and be reliable for three hours daily. That wouldn’t be a “nanny” anyway.

But I think, based on the rest of her post, what she really needs is regular house cleaners or a housekeeper.[/quote]

+1. She wants a regular house keeper or "house manager" who is willing to also help with the kids for 3-4 hours per day, as well as manage the kids all day during breaks/days off school.  That would be easier to find for $60-70K/year when you are giving them 40-45 hours per week.  Just have to find someone who is good with kids who is also willing to do the house managment/laundry/light cooking/ cleaning/etc.  Since the kids are ES aged, it should be easier to find than with infants/toddlers.  But Without offering good pay and 40 hour work week, yes it would be difficult to find someone.  Nobody wants to be reliable for only 4 hours most days. [/quote]
