[quote=Anonymous]I am a nanny with a background in child development and 13 years of experience. Most of my employers are parents who specifically want someone who can do the child development component, which may be developmental lesson planning or addressing deficits, along with  all the normal child care tasks. I complete the bulk of my administrative work when the kids are napping, things like updating my kiddos portfolio with samples of the work we did that week or researching ways to support an emerging skill. The nanny/housekeeper position could work if your nanny will still have some hours free to focus on  the development tasks. IMO, the parents willingness to pay me to do those administrative tasks is an indication that it's a genuine priority for the family.

We hare dual position might appeal to me if I could grow professionally in some new way or you offered unbeatable benefits. There would need to be some special appeal for me to choose a position that requires housekeeping on top of all the documentation and planning that goes into doing the developmental work.

My recommendation is to figure out exactly what psycho-educational goals you have and whether you really need someone with the degree. [/quote]
