[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you have to conceptualize what it is you want the nanny to be doing with your kids, and then work the number off that. For example, I don't want lunch out to be an activity for my kids except in special circumstances. But I want my nanny to take my children to a museum 1x week and pack snacks/water. I want them to go to a playground or library or as their regular activity most days, and I'll pay for ice cream or a snack 1x/week.. I want them to have enough money to ride buses or metro if they choose and go to a paid play place if the weather is bad. It's not the amount, it's being clear about the job expectations. Otherwise the nanny will think you want her to spend money and will find ways to do so that don't really achieve anything.[/quote] You must live in DC. For us, a museum trip is an all day event.[/quote] Depending on the location in DC, a museum trip can take a good chunk of the day.[/quote]
