Rate when baby brings her baby to work

[Anonymous]

I am interviewing nannies for a full time job with my newborn. I found a very qualified lady and have exchanging preliminary emails . We are about to have a call and I want to know what’s fair. She has asked for $22 without her baby and $20 if she can bring her baby.

The job is full time at my house with my new born and her four month old.

Is this rate correct?

The newborn rate seems reasonable if she has the qualifications and skills to back it up. The rate for her to bring her baby seems way too high - in a matter of months, her baby will be mobile and she will need to devote more time to watching her own child. Then it will become more like a nanny share.

That's a steal! I never reduced my rate when I brought my daughter and had no issues finding great long term positions. I had 14 years full time experience, BA in child psych, pediatric sleep certification, certified babywearing instructor, and CPST and made $27-30/hr with my baby in tow for reference.

It's only like a nanny share if they go to her house half the time, she has say in the schedule (i.e. her baby's naps don't have to revolve around nanny kid's outings/schedule), etc

There’s no such thing as a correct rate in the nanny world. You pay what you can afford and what the nanny deserves/willing to accept. You like her, she’s qualified then give it a shot. What does her references say?

I’ve been on both sides (I had a pt nanny who brung her son), so I am telling you from experience it’s not a bad thing to allow nanny to bring her child- a nanny is not going to jeopardize her employment that allows her to bring her own child, and she may actually go above and beyond to reassure you. I think $20/hr is fair, especially if her normal rate is $22+. I would recommend having a contract and include a section about her bringing her child and the expectation. Since they aren’t that far apart in age, your baby will have a friend to grow and play with, which is great especially during COVID.

Lastly, a nanny bringing her own child is not a nanny share. She is still the employee and caring for her own child.

I think that’s very fair. If she is qualified and experienced, everyone in this situation benefits and you will have one happy, stress free nanny and your baby will have a built in playmate (social skills!). I did this when I had my son, he was 5 months and my charge was 3 months. They are the BEST of friends and refer to each other as brothers still, and they are 10 yrs old. I nannied for that family till their second child went to preschool, which was 7 yrs! If she’s great, you won’t regret it.

$15 with Baby. Thats a nanny share not a nanny, at best.

Two babies is a share.

No it’s not. She’s not splitting cost with her employee.

She’s at least saving the nanny some childcare cost of her own.

No it’s not. She’s not splitting cost with her employee.

I’d offer 17$ or look for someone without baggage

My son was an only at the time and spent his first 3 years in a share with a kid who is now one of his best buds.

I would actually think that the nanny bringing her kid along is a plus, as long as she is otherwise fantastic. I think I would be a bit concerned about unconscious bias, it would be hard for a mom not to look out for her kid first at all times, but I don't think it's necessarily a deal breaker (just consider how many nannies spend hours on their phones...).

$20 seems a bit on the high side. We paid $20 in 2019 for an experienced nanny to watch two of our own kids (and none of her own). Of course then COVID hit and we haven't had childcare since so I don't know how things have changed.

Is the nanny giving input and allowed to host?

This is op, we haven’t spoken yet on any details she has just asked to bring her baby with her. I am looking for someone to come to my
House though. If she wanted to host that would be a different story and we would probably have to look elsewhere.
