[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] OP here. I guess also thought that $20 b/c the going rate for a nanny share is $22-25 an hour, so I was really surprised by a $20 quote for a toddler. Especially because of the 6 hours of childcare, our toddler will be napping for 1.5 hours. [b]I'm wondering if I should ask for housekeeping or other chores during that time if I'm paying so much.[/b] [/quote] This mindset is going to lead to a bad relationship, I can tell you right now. You should not feel like you have to work your nanny to the bone every second of her working hours in order to "get your money's worth". You will never feel satisfied and your nanny will feel resentful. If you still want to explore the possibility of hiring this nanny, you could as questions such as "What does a model day with your charges look like? What do you envision that you'll do during nap time?" etc. But honestly I just think you need to accept that this nanny is out of your budget and move on. [/quote]
