Nanny share with nanny baby

[Anonymous]

Just wondering how it works And how also whose house (nanny/family) what’s the pay rate and anyone else experience

[Anonymous]

Are you the nanny, or are you a parent that is thinking of hiring a nanny with her own baby?

The rate, and location, is something to negotiated between the employer and nanny; there's no set price/rule.

Most DCUM posters (employers) will tell you it's a bad idea.

Definitely in your (employer’s) home. Nanny is responsible for bringing food and supplies for herself (including high chair, somewhere to sleep, etc). How are you going to do a double stroller?

Make sure you have a contract with a clear exit path!

I know this is unheard of, but I had been placed by one of the more “elite” nanny agencies to bring along my child to work. The parents who hired me were both physicians, so they could afford whatever they thought was the best care their child could get.

You have no idea what they could afford. Med school is expensive, they may have up to their eyeballs in student loan debt. Even if they "lived in a big house" and "drove expensive cars," they may have just been trying to keep up with the joneses.

This is not a nanny share. If nanny does it in her home, she needs to be licensed as its not a nanny share but in home provider. I would be surprised if people are paying top dollar and ok with you bringing your baby. If you call it a nanny share, as the nanny you bring all needs for your child with you and you charge 1/2 as much to the parents as you need to deduct for the second child.

I bring my 2 year old to work and I had done it with my first child as well. NEVER had a problem finding family who is ok with that (my older is in 2nd grade and was with me till she was 2.5, went to day care for 6 months and once she started PK she was with me afterschool). I charge $15/h (my regular rate is $22-24). Most of the time I go to their house. Always bring food for my kid but I am welcomed to use their food if I want to. I do have my own double stroller now but with my first child the other family bought it since they were planning on having second child anyways. Since the share family is still my boss I charge slightly more that “regular” nanny share rate. If their kid is sick I get paid day off. If mine is sick I either use PTO or my husband stays home.

You have no clue how much I knew about them. You’re just mad they could afford the best.

A nanny who brings their kid to work is not the best.

My sister actually was able to do something like this She had been an elementary school teacher (masters in child psychology) but decided to stop teaching when her own daughter was born, and would return when her child would enter full-time K. Some rather wealthy friends asked her if she would consider being a nanny for their toddler and she could bring her own baby. They offered her something like $20 per hour -- less than a regular professional nanny position but hey, she could bring her kid. She accepted and did stay with the family til she went back to teaching full time 5 years later.

The best is a professional who has child care for her own kids and is focused only on her job. This isn't a nanny share. Its a nanny bring her child to work. Nanny share is different.

FYI, a nanny who has her own young child actually has two jobs:
1. Caring for her charge
2. Caring for her own bio child
My pediatric psychiatrist employer loved how well I accomplished both jobs.

If you were the best (and I hope you realize how pompous that sounds), you without your child would have been even better. They've put up with your child, they didn't seek out a nanny with a child.

Most psychiatrists are a bit well... anyway.

Caring for your child is not a job. You are being a parent. You are refusing to pay for your own child care while you work. A good nanny would be focused on her charge. It is not a nanny share and its not a job caring for your child. Be a responsible working parent and get your child quality child care.
