If I absolutely couldn’t afford it otherwise, I’d go with the nanny with the teenager.

You're an idiot but a nanny would resent more the fact that she has to pay for her child to be cared for by someone else due to your inability to be impartial and alwsys favor your own child.

Another child is good for social interaction for many reasons. If I liked her and her references were good, I would hire her and I would not deduct from her hourly rate for bringing her own child. This would be a loyal nanny who would be worth her weight in gold

Adults who have kids and are working pay for child care. A nanny is being paid to provide child care. If you want to be a "professional" nanny you don't bring your kids. She can resent paying for child care but that's what adults who cannot do it themselves or have family to help do.

NP, but I just received an application for a nanny who wants to bring her baby and her toddler when she comes to care for my toddler. This has never come up for me before (I have a much older child and hired nannies in the past for him)...do we think this is a newer phenomenon with the pandemic? I’d be more open to it if it was just one child, but a baby and two toddlers seems like a lot. She also wasn’t willing to negotiate her rate down, which isn’t my primary factor in not wanting to move forward with her (I get that she has to make a living) but I would have thought that someone bringing two kids would have been a little more flexible.

One child, yes. Two?! No, she needs to switch to a home daycare model until her kids are older.

Hello? Schools and daycares are closed... Covid-19. Maybe show some compassion and let them bring their child.

For those parents who think a nanny bringing their child will see yours as a second to take care off Be open minded I have seen nanny s bringing their children and they look after all of them the same as their own I m a nanny and have seen it at parks all the time first I would have respect and want to work for those families tells you they have a lot of trust and respect in their nanny to be able to take care of more then 1 child

What was the original plan of all these nannies who seem to be having babies all of a sudden? No child care plans prior to conception or during 9 months of pregnancy? COVID has only been around a short while. Surely they had already interviewed nannies/babysitters /family members and did not just give birth and think, "Hmm, now what do i now?"

Many lost daycare spots when daycare folded. Some had their parent lined up, but covid made that impossible. Some planned on bringing the child to an existing position, and the position ended due to covid and parents being home. Many, many people are scrambling right now, not just nannies.

Are nannies hiring other nannies? What is the backup plan to the original plan?

I know several that told families they needed to bring their child or they couldn’t work. With dl, it’s just going to get worse.
