I pay a sahm $10 an hour now who watched my 4yo along with her 5yo ( they were friends before) she also takes my kid with her if she needs to run an errand and sometimes my kid has to go to her older kids sports games. She does give my kid dinner as well.
For 2 kids I would pay $15
You cant ask for much more as you have your own child so it is similar to a share.


Too little. For all that she is doing you should be paying a minimum of $15/hr. You are going to lose a friendship by being so cheap and don't say she is fine with this. For two kids, $20 minimum.


How is $10 an hour too little? If we were doing a share paying $20 to the sitter our share would be $10 each. She is not a professional Nanny, she watches my kid with her kid.


Wait what? How is she not a professional? Your reasoning is weird. I bet she quits soon.


because shes a sahm, I know her as a Mom, she has never been a Nanny by profession. We became friends through our kids and now she watches my kid part time for extra cash.[/quote

She's not a sahm if you employ her. Stop being disrespectful towards your "friend."

Figure out how much nannies in your area are charging, and then subtract about $2/hr from the low end. Otherwise, why give up the convenience someone coming to your home without their own needy child in tow?

Your nanny most likely plays on her cellphone all day. They all do.


Mine does not, I'm 100% certain.


Ha that's impossible to figure out.
