[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should work all the available hours. At a reasonable $25 an hour you could be making $2200 a week! It's not really an unreasonable amount of hours, regular 8 hour days and then weekends, it's worth the money for sure.[/quote]

I'm not the nanny, I'm someone helping the parent.  I think the parent is concerned about burn out, and also hoping that having two nannies rather than one will provide back up when one has to be out due to illness or vacation.

In some ways, this will be a very hard job, as of course supporting kids through such a painful situation is emotionally very taxing, and as the mom is home almost all the time which isn't most nanny's preference.  In some ways it will be an easy job, because when the sick child is home, mom treasures the times with just her family and is happy to have the nanny take some time to herself, as long as she stays close enough to return quickly.

Mom is fortunately in a position to be able to pay well.  [/quote]

In that case then you already seem to understand, this is a position almost no nanny would want to take, no professional nanny at least. As described all mom needs is a warm body really (not saying the person has to absolutely suck) so she is better looking on care.com or other places for a newer nanny or someone with generally less experience. That way mom doesn't need to pay absolute top dollar but can still pay well enough to get such a nanny to do her absolute best.[/quote]
