It is definitely a bit of a challenge but as long as their is great communication it works just fine! I take care of the little one, light housekeeping that's related to baby (his laundry, food, vacuuming his room and playroom, etc) and am paid $19/h with benefits.

How many times a day does the mom see the baby?

PPhere. Mom sees him on and off all day. She still breastfeeds 1-2 times during the day while I am here. She comes in a gives him a hug or kiss throughout the day as well. Being able to see him is why she loves being a work at home mom. We talked a lot about routine and making sure I am still in charge while I am on duty, but she is still mom and I totally respect that.

Sorry, but popping in and out "all day" is the opposite of a "routine". Now your child is still a baby, but soon enough he's going to scream everytime mommy pops in and out. Enjoy what you have while it lasts.

I have worked for WAHMs or SAHMs my last 3 positions and itics not something I proudly put in my resume. I am clear up front about expectations and we do have a great routine. With communication it is very possible!

What is your understanding of a "routine"?

You sound like a bitter, nasty person. Mom pops in to give her baby kisses and you turn that into something negative? You suck at being a team player and you clearly aren't interested in what's best for the baby.

Popping in and out all day on your child is a good thing? You don't know how the child will soon start to cry for mommy to stay? Why do you think most nannies won't get involved with that?
