[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I would pass on this candidate. Its a huge negative for the employer with no benefit. Its also a HUGE benefit to the nanny hence the crazy rationalizations that nannies put forward to do it.

My neighbor is actually in the middle of a mess like this now. She hired a nanny bringing her 18 month old. Her own 3 children are older elementary school age and relatively self sufficient so she thought it wouldn't be a big problem. She was clear that the position was a nanny/light housekeeper position and involved taking the older kids to their various activities and hosting play dates etc.

The nanny is exhausted from running after 4 kids all day but the kid that requires the most care is hers. The older kids are disappointed that they can't go to the pool when their friends are there because of nap time. The eldest of the 3 kids ends up watching/entertaining the nanny's child while the nanny does the light housekeeping tasks. None of the kids can ever invite a friend along or car pool because the fourth seat in my neighbor's car is now taken by the nanny's child. She's pretty upset about all this and plans to let the nanny go at the end of the summer and never do this again. [/quote]

It may be worth noting that the big problem here may be that the family's kids and nanny's kids make 4 charges. That is a lot for anyone, especially given the wide age distribution. [/quote]
