[quote=Anonymous][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]

You’re dating the base *for a share* is a total of $40/hr? Because no, it is not. And K-12 credentials don’t matter for my 2-4 yr old. You are an inexperienced nanny in this situation, not a highly desirable teacher like in a teaching pod situation. [/quote]

It clearly says the price for a nanny for up to 2 kids. Total price per hour. And you may not care about teaching credentials for a 2-4 yr old but other parents want a leg up for their kids reading and comprehension skills.

$25-$30/hr for someone versed in 'developmental milestones' - https://www.whitehousenannies.com/job/engaged-nanny-needed-for-active-1-year-old/

$25-$30/hr for nanny who can help with distance learning - https://www.whitehousenannies.com/job/nanny-needed-for-5-year-old-top-salary/

But, those are for experienced nannies.  OP is not that.  And, even for an experienced nanny, going through an agency is the easier, but more expensive route.  And, even among agencies, white house nannies tend to be among the most expensive.  Finally, there aren't a ton of people putting 4 year olds in in-homes.  Lots of people use in-home for infant and maybe toddler, and then move out to centers or preschools for preschool.  OP would be more likely to have young kids where many fewer parents would care about teaching credentials.[/quote]
