Nanny bringing baby with her

[Anonymous]

I'm speaking to a nanny who is looking for a position where she could also bring her 6 month old child. My kids are 4 and 5 and I'm looking for flexible care before and after school and help with some household tasks while they are at school.

How much would you pay for a nanny who also brings their baby?

$20 an hour. And just so you know, cleaning is more expensive than nannying per hour. Also I am assuming you want coverage for when your kids are sick or on school break.

It’s hard to find someone for just before and after care so I would be ok with someone bringing their kid if they were willing to work those hours. Do you have room for 3 car seats and have you discussed logistics?

I wouldn't pay more than $12-14 as she has a young child and her focus will be on that child and not yours. She isn't going to be able to do household work with a young child.

Err, my mom had 3 kids in 3 years and always kept a very clean house.

This won't last. Your kids will get her infant sick and she'll wind up deciding to match with a family who has a similarly aged baby.

A Nanny who brings her six-mos. old infant to work w/her will definitely not be able to do any cleaning.

Baby may not sleep well at night, thus leaving Nanny too tired.
Also, if her baby is not a great napper she may be too preoccupied w/her baby that she will not be able to focus on getting your home in neat order.

I recommend you continue your search.

I agree with the $20/hr. and you’ll be lucky.

You cannot compare a working Nanny = a working Mother.

A Nanny is on the clock & will need to have household chores done + completed by a set time.
But a Mother can just do her chores when her child sleeps.

There is no timeline.

Professional nannies do not do chores. You are speaking of desperate immigrant women.
