[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was in the same position- I got pregnant after 4 years with my nanny family when the twins were set to enter full time school. I took 8 weeks and came back with my baby. I morphed into a nanny household manager role 20 hours per week. So I work 1-6pm. From 1-3pm I do grocery shopping, meal prep, packing lunches, laundry, or errands. Then school pick up, snack, play, dinner, and I leave. I keep a pack n play in their spare room and my daughter takes her afternoon nap while I work. She is now 2 years old and we are still going strong.

My MB bought a beautiful handmade bookcase and filled it with hand me down books that I used to read to my nanny kids. It was the most perfect thoughtful gift I received at my shower.[/quote]

Did your get paid during those 8 weeks?

And when you came back as a nanny/house manager for only 20 hours per week I'm assuming you made way less than you had before?

I'm asking because I imagine we'll be in the same boat in a year or two (I know our nanny and her husband are trying to conceive but our kids will start K next year - also twins).[/quote]

They paid me at 50% for the 8 weeks which I thought was fair because I fully understood that they were also paying for a temp to fill in. My hourly rate stayed the same, but yes I was only being paid for 20 hours rather than full time.

For sick days, we agreed if my daughter is sick, I will find alternate care and still go to work (hasnt been an issue as my MIL is close by). They've also given me the freedom to bring my NKs to my house if I ever need to which I really appreciate and do maybe 1-2 days per month. My NKs LOVE coming over and I live by MBs work so she just grabs them on her way home. We've all diligently upheld our ends of every agreement and talk about situations as they arise which makes everything go smoothly.[/quote]
