[quote=Anonymous]I'm a part-time nanny with a day job and I do your exact description and love, love, love it. 2 kids, same general ages as yours, schools are about 30 minutes apart by car.

I do a little over 15 hours a week with them. I really think you should reconsider asking your after school nanny to do the laundry and grocery shopping, for two reasons. 1) your typical after school nanny isn't used to doing those things [college student, teacher, otherwise] and 2) do you really want your kids to go to school until 3, then be in the car for 45 minutes while all get picked up, and then spend an hour in Target getting groceries, and then going home to play by themselves while your nanny does the laundry and makes dinner? Really sounds like a bad plan. You would be better off letting the nanny play with your kids and making them dinner and you can do your own laundry and shopping. Just a thought.

You could pay $15 an hour if you wanted the nanny to play with the kids. If you want the job as you described about I would think you would need to offer $20 an hour to find someone that wants to do all your chores.

And of course you can try to stipulate anything you want, but someone that is working part-time likely can't drop everything in their lives to cover your childcare needs on snow days and teacher workdays. I would suggest you keep this strictly after school, and find other on-call people who can cover your other needs. Of course it never hurts to ask as long as you don't try to pressure your nanny into anything she can't do.
