[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nanny agency here.

SO MANY of my clients have one or both parents in big law. Many still have full time daycare and then they hire an almost full time household manager through me. Typically, this person works 11/12-7/8pm. While the kids are gone they handle all of the background tasks with the goal being if you (and DH) are not working, you can be enjoying your family time. So they do things such as family laundry, errands, grocery shopping, planning and booking travel or activities, buying/wrapping gifts, stocking the household with diapers, tp, baggies, toiletries, etc, making the kids routine doctor and dentist check ups, managing family and school calendars, packing for travel, regular clothes/toy donations, periodically cleaning toys/stroller/high chair/car seats, taking cars for washes and oil changes, making dinner, prepping breakfast so it's grab and go in the morning, etc. Then they do daycare/school pick up and help with the after school dinner, shuffling to activities, baths, etc. Then you likely have built in back up care for sick or no school days as well. It's around $68-75k all in for 30-40 hours per week, employer taxes, payroll and tax services, workers comp policy (if in DC or MD- VA doesn't require it), agency fee.[/quote]

I need this person. Now. Desperately. [/quote]

I’ve tried that person, with an agency. So have my friends. It sounds amazing, but hasn’t been for any of us. No one I know has gotten a really good nanny/housekeeper through an agency - it’s just hard to find good help, even if you pay a lot of money (not just the hourly wage, for the agency).
