The person who cares for your child in her own home is not a nanny. She's a home daycare provider. She is required to be licensed (if you are paying her) in most states. She pays her own taxes so you pay only a flat fee.

Some former nannies have done this and have done very well financially. They can more than double what they earned as a nanny.

It's not just about a former nanny deciding she wants to care for your child at your home.  Home daycares need a proper setup, and not every nanny's home may be suitable for this.

To give you an idea, my son is at a great home daycare in close-in NOVA.  Twelve kids, three teachers. Large house with a dedicated addition, big fenced lot, professionally landscaped, own playground, home made food, French lessons, music lessons.  Lots and lots of paperwork, inspector visits, licensing up and down.  I'm sure she earns a living wage and she works hard for it, but it was always a business, organized and funded as such.  Not a former nanny deciding to care for a couple more kids.  Not every nanny would have access to this type of setup. [/quote]
