1.  As far as hours go, is a 55 hour work week too much?  Most nannies work 50 hours a week (to cover the workday and commute of the parents).  55 is a lot but not unheard of.

2.  A good nanny will do anything and everything child-related but no general housecleaning.  The size of your home is not relevant.  She shouldn't be asked to wash your breakfast dishes or make your bed whether you live in a studio apartment or mansion.

3.  Yes, it is both unrealistic to expect your nanny and child to remain indoors.  And it is bad for your child.

4.  I don't know the answer to this one.  I have always brought my own lunch and snacks.

5.  Nannies are, by law, hourly employees.  You cannot pay a nanny a fixed salary.  Your are also legally required to pay time and a half over forty hours a week.

As for compensation, it all depends on what you want.  I am a nanny for a 19 month old boy - I have a college degree with additional graduate school credits in Early Childhood Development and years of experience as both a nanny and a preschool teacher.  I started two years ago at $19 and hour and am now earning $21 an hour.
