[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don't really know what the friend has in mind.  The OP and the prospective childcare provider are at the earliest stage in their discussions.  So the care provider had an inflated sense of what her services are worth on the market?  That's not unusual even among seasoned nannies, and this woman is new to the field.  I don't think we can assume on that basis that the friend isn't prepared to handle the duties like a professional.  Also, according to OP, the friend is a former nanny and preschool teacher.  Maybe she's concluded that she's worth more than the typical share nanny, and maybe she's right.  Or maybe not, but that doesn't tell us how seriously she'll take the work.
  
As for those of you getting hung up on the word "help," I don't get this.  My nanny is a professional, but her job is to help me with all things child-related.  My job is to help people with their legal problems and I count on my physicians, hair stylists, and the like to help me with my health and personal maintenance needs.  In fact, I'm not sure anyone gets paid to do something other than "help" other people--be they bosses, clients, charges, customers, or whatever.[/quote]
OP didn't say she's a former nanny.  Just that she has "extensive childcare experience". [/quote]
