Why should I have to take a paycut for bringing my child?

They don't need it but that is what a nanny is and that is what the parents pay for.

+1. If they didn't care about their child having one on one they would put them in daycare or at the very least a nanny share. With either of those they'd be paying less they are paying for the one on one and now their child isn't getting it.

I'm serious. I still go to their home, which is super convenient for them. They still get a nanny. Why should I have to pay to watch my child too? Why should they care that I'm not paying child care?

I'm serious. I hope you are a troll because otherwise you may be the stupidest person to ever draw breath.

I agree, come on OP. You can't be this dumb.

Bringing your own child to work is a huge benefit. You don't have to pay for childcare! The only time I've seen nannies not take a pay cut is when they have already been in the job for several years before getting pregnant and bringing baby.

A nanny caring for any other child in addition to my own is a nanny share. It can work just fine, but I expect to pay less.

Of course, your loyalties and attention may be even less equally distributed given that the other child is your own, that would be something that might concern an employer.

I expect to (and do) pay a premium for the luxury of having one adult whose entire focus is my kids.

You are LUCKY to even find a family who will allow you to bring your child at all. Most people will not even consider it. Your pool of potential employers is smaller than a nanny who does not need to bring her kid.

I had a nanny who brought her child and I paid her $13./hr. The going rate is 16/hr. About right….$150 less per week. Still cheaper than putting your kid in daycare.

Op, can you find a daycare for the $150 a week you'd be earning without your kid? If not, you're getting a good deal.

Agreed. DS' previous nanny had a child 2 months younger than DS. It worked for awhile but slowly her child's interests became more important than mine. Nothing wrong with her wanting what all mothers want (their kids best interest at heart), but I was paying her to put my kid's best interest at heart. We fired her and now will never hire someone who wants to bring their kid along. I'll gladly pay more for that.

How about water, electric, utilities, compensating for wear and tear on their house.

Do you pay extra to compensate the family for the increase in their homeowner's insurance to cover your child?

Because they are now getting half of you, not all of you. Why should they pay full price for less than 100% of you?

Because that's what the parents are paying for.

With all due respect OP, you sound very dense in the head. Do you not see the logic in what people are trying to tell you?

Bringing your child into work everyday is a HUGE perk, get it?? You are basically getting out of having to fork out a grand a month for childcare expenses.

Plus, by bringing in another child, their child is going to by default, receive less one-on-one attention whether or not you want to admit that or not. Also, their child will be exposed to more illness/germs being around another child and there is more liability involved in case your child breaks something in their home...You know, the extra "wear and tear" of having another child in their house all day.

What about this do you not "get....??"

OP is a typical nanny. Doesn't understand why, despite not going to college or doing anything to better herself (and reading many of these posts add in being severely overweight and mental illness too) why she deserves anything less than $22 an hour, full benefits, free childcare, numerous vacation days, etc from a family just looking for some childcare.

Nanny here. I have been bringing my child to work since he was 3 months old. Now, both children are 3 years old. Working 43 hours a week, making $750 with benefits. There are great families out there !
