[quote=Anonymous]I've cared for 5+ children under age 10 alone.

I likely have the other qualities you'd want as well.

I'd want $22/hour or more plus benefits for this position. I know other nannies that fall in this grouping too- none of them would do it for less.

The amount of laundry alone much less managing all the other things for your school age children (meals, lunches for next day, planning activities, finding ways to help with the current school struggles, etc) means the nanny is doing a lot more work then she would for 1-2 kids even if only 1-2 are physically present. A lot more household management goes into this job in order to keep things organized and running smoothly.

Then add in all the extra illnesses, days off of school, juggling after school activities and play dates and holidays and the nanny has 3-4 kids more of the year then you realize.

Now if all you want is somebody to feed thm and keep them alive I think you can get by with the mentality it isn't much work. But most professionals would look at this job and what it requires to do it properly to our own high standards and it is clearly not an easy job.[/quote]
