[quote=Anonymous]I have been looking for a PT nanny for my daughter and realized that our occasional babysitter would probably be the ideal person. It fits her schedule and my daughter absolutely ADORES her. The only reason I would not have thought of her from the start is that she is a little young (18, first year of college) and also I just feel like we have more of a casual relationship and wasn't sure what to do in terms of changing job description type things with the same person. For example, when she comes over now at night, after putting my daughter to sleep, she is free to do whatever. I was hoping that the person we would hire for the PT nanny position would do a little bit of light housekeeping (child laundry, emptying dishwasher, that kind of thing ) - maybe for about an hour of the time that my daughter will be sleeping. Just to put in context, this would be a 4-5 hr/day position and about 2.5 hrs of that would be spent napping. Is this a bad idea to talk to her about taking on more responsibilities during nap time? Would you pay more per hour now? If so, how much?

Not sure if there are any other considerations I need to think about or other duties I would want her to pick up - I can't think of any.

Thanks![/quote]
