She told me that the previous summer she had hired the 16 year old who lived a few houses down for $9/hr. The kids had a lot of fun with her, but she came home every single day to a huge mess in the play areas and the kitchen. She said it was worth it to her to double her childcare costs (hiring me at $18/hr) just to have the peace of mind to know she'd be coming home to a clean house. Right now it sounds like you're paying for the real nanny but only getting the actual experience of a neighborhood high schooler (decent with the kid maybe but subpar in other aspects).

Nanny is something different to everyone. I'm paid $24 an hour and I rarely ever do the dishes, and never do any other chores (vacuum, sweep, wipe things, etc). I am there only for the baby. Sometimes I will find myself doing the dishes, but usually DB happily does them when he gets home. Some people want just a nanny and some want a nanny/maid.

You are lazy as shit. I'd fire your ass in a second it you couldn't clean up your dishes and the kids dishes. You can take that to the bank.

The reason why you aren’t able to hire anyone as nobody would be willing to work for someone that doesn’t play with a full deck
You’re better off SAHM

I was a nanny for over a decade and don’t remember using pots and pans everyday. This seems off.
