[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm looking to hire a nanny for our infant son while I am home teleworking indefinitely, but we also have an older child who may come home for the last hour of the nanny's shift and who would also be home during school holidays. Do I increase the rate for this last half hour/hour or on these dates from the base rate? For school days, the plan is DH would pick her up from school, and typically one of us helps her wash hands and gets her a snack, and she watches TV for an hour or plays on her iPad. We usually both finish our work day while she does this unless we have a late meeting (rare) so I'm not sure if I'd even need the nanny to really help with the older one except on rare occasions or on days she is home on school holidays...How do you typically handle this?

We've had this situation for three years and never paid the nanny.  Didn't even occur to me.  Our older child is completely independent and doesn't need her care so I'm not sure why she'd be paid extra for the mere fact of a child under the same roof.  She was the baby's nanny and her job didn't change when the older kids came home. [/quote]
