[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well if she is to be "on-call" while the older two are in school, meaning she is to be available for contact if the children fall ill or suffer an injury, etc., then I think she should be paid for three children.

If for the hours that the older ones are in school, you will notify the school to call you or your husband, then I would only pay her for the hours she is actually responsible for said child.

It is difficult for me to recommend a fair wage since that depends on many other factors. I.e., location, benefits, her education/experience, etc.[/quote]

OP isn't going to be able to stay home just because the older two kids don't have school (vacation, sick, etc), so it's best if OP pays the nanny for 3 with the understanding that she is responsible for picking up a sick child from school, keeping a sick child home and entertaining all three when there's no school.  My concern would be that OP would allow both children to stay home when any one of the three kids is sick, that way the sick child isn't drug around.[/quote]
