[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey guys so a few of us parents wanted to go out on a Saturday without the kids. My family has 2 kids (2 and 4 months), the other family has 2 (1 and 3 months) and our other friends have 1 child she just turned 1. Our nanny suggested we schedule to go out around 12:30- 1 that way it's the kids nap time we will probably do 5 to 6 hours. What is a reasonable pay. Of course she can handle it because she keeps 4 kids full time just thought I would throw that in there. Any suggestions[/quote]

Does your nanny care for four of THESE kids or your two and two others?  If the 12mo is the old new child, you and your share partner pay normal rate, parent of the singleton asks the nanny if $x rate (should be approximately 2/3-3/4 of your rate) is fine.  Just be aware that it isn’t legal for a multitude of reasons, the top one being that in an emergency, your nanny physically can’t get all the kids out of the house at the same time.[/quote]

I accidentally hit submit instead of enter.

If the nanny doesn’t normally care for any of the three other kids, I’d suggest asking how much she wants to charge.  She doesn’t know 3/5, so she wouldn’t have a clue how hard or easy it would be.  And two young infants won’t necessarily cooperate and sleep very long/at all.[/quote]
