[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For various reasons, we would like to have a nanny start work the day our baby is born. Since the baby may be early or late, we know we’ll have to pay her for being on hold. What is the accepted practice in holding a nanny? A signed contract and flat retainer fee or signing bonus? What percentage of salary is generally offered? [/quote] I would hire a postpartum doula who is on-call for when baby is born, can assist with the super newborn and postpartum "things" and wait until you are ready for childcare to hire a nanny. [/quote] Btw, my postpartum doula cost $31/hour and was there within hours of me returning home from my c-section. I got enough sleep and rest to recover, she even helped with the toddler and knew how to put together a breastpump when I was exhausted and crying because I couldn't figure it out. Best.Spent.Money.Ever. Our nanny started when our baby was 6 weeks old and toddler went to daycare. [/quote]
