[quote=Anonymous]DD's best friend at preschool is picked up by her mom who has an infant and is heavily pregnant.  I know she could use some help and am thinking of asking DD's part-time nanny whether she would be okay picking up DD and her BFF together one day weekly or biweekly for a play date.  School pick-up is at 3:30pm and I'd ask BFF's mom to pick up her daughter by 5pm.  Our home and playgrounds are a five minutes' walk from preschool so no driving involved.  DD's nanny is a former preschool teacher and great at play dates.

Of course, DD's nanny would need to be paid for this.  What would be a reasonable comp from the points of view of both nanny and BFF's mom?  BFF's mom would be happy for the extra help, but I'm pretty sure she won't pay the full going rate for a babysitter in our area ($15/hr * 1.5 hours = $22.50).  The extra child charge around here is $2-5/hr.  I was thinking ballpark $10 for the 1.5 hours, but I'll ask nanny what she thinks first.  The girls are well-behaved.  The only potential difficulty I see is that DD might act up because she has to share nanny.  If nanny at any time says she's not happy with the arrangement, it will stop.  I would present it as a 'let's try it once and see how it goes' so there's no expectation on BFF's mom's side.

If anyone's wondering why I'm putting so much thought into this, it would be great for DD to have a regular play date with a school friend, especially since they'll be in the same class next year, too.[/quote]
