[quote=nannydebsays][quote=Anonymous]I worked for a family with two children and brought my 1 year old as well. I charged $16/hour. I was the best nanny they ever had. I have tons of experience with kids, a great education and a dedication to children. I never put my kid first. I re-arranged my child's schedule to work with the other kids. They got an energetic, engaging, loving and hard working nanny...I was also a SAHM. Most of my SAHM friends are so wonderful with their kids. They have a knack for spending quality time with children. So, that's why sometimes (not always) a SAHM can provide great childcare. Why would you not pay for that? [/quote]

So you went to your employers house? Then you didn't do what the OP is finding SAHM's wanting to do. The people the OP is talking about are running pseudo family daycares, but doing it at nanny prices. They expect the people who pay them to bring the kids to the day care, probably provide the food and other needed items, and so forth.

I have no doubt you were a terrific nanny. I do doubt that your employers would have been willing to pay you $16/hour to provide daycare at your own home.

I am also quite aware that some SAHM's are terrific. But SAHM's who decide to do daycare without any knowledge of reality based pricing are are not people I admire or respect.[/quote]
