[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think its reasonable to offer one pay for the baby but you need to be willing to pay more if even one of the other kids is home for a sick day etc. What happens on snow days when you are home? Or school days off for in service training, half days, Presidents Day etc?

And where do you live? The rate changes depending on location.[/quote]

Guaranteed pay for the school year, including your vacation and snow days.

What happens when YOU are sick?  Nanny takes kids to/from school in your car, so she needs to be on your insurance.

You won’t find anyone willing to do any prep or cleaning related to the older kids if they’re only being paid for the baby.  Otoh, the nanny can do snacks, lunches, water bottles, wash masks and clothes, strip/wash/remake beds for the older kids, if she’s compensated.

How are you planning to handle conference weeks?  Are you part of kindergarten round up?  How many summer days before school do you go in?  Does your school do early release or late start to accommodate in service hours, or do you have in service days?  The nanny will need as many dates and times BEFORE hire as possible.[/quote]

My husband could take the kids to/from school if I were sick, that's what happens now.  We're in a pretty walkable community, so a nanny who doesn't drive would be fine.  In the longer term, if a nanny wanted to drive, we could work on figuring that out.

Early release or late start, they'd just go to before/aftercare at my school.  I'm not involved in kindergarten round up, and I don't know what conference weeks are.  [/quote]
