[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, as a practical matter, I think you will want to have full time help when you are home on maternity leave with third kid.

In the mean time - 4 hours a day while kids in school - clean the kids rooms/do laundry/ make dinner for you and your family + then 3 afternoon hours

Emergency days where kids are sick.

Once you are on leave- the newborn will be sleeping much of day- while baby is sleeping you can go to the gym, go for a walk, get pedicure, do whatever you need to do, or take a nap, and you can be there when baby is awake. Or spend quality time with other kids.

[b]If you are looking for another family, then indemnify that option to her - say you will pay her regardless of whether that family works out - that you will then bill the other family/etc.[/b]

Also-  she may ask for a raise with 3 kids!

At this point, if you need to save funds, it might be cheaper to get an au pair.

Woah, what?   Why would the other family pay a bill sent by the nanny's other/previous employer?[/quote]

The idea is to guarantee the nanny’s income. So if the other family flakes out and stiffs the nanny, the nanny doesn’t take the hit, OP does.[/quote]

But pp (you?) said "You will then bill the other family."   That makes no sense.   Don't give OP any crazy ideas that she can do that.[/quote]
