[quote=Anonymous]Hi Caring for four kids is very hard. I take care of two infants and two toddlers. Two of the children are mine and the other two I babysit . The money is not the issue a fair rate will be between $20-$25 base on what you require from the nanny. Is she there to only care for the children or do you expect her to do more than that ? If you require light housekeeping with four children you need to pay a high rate.But I think you can organize the nanny life if you create a schedule for your children when they are all in the house. Taking care of two school children should be that difficult .Give them snack , homework and playdates. The toddlers need to have a schedule so they don't get bored and drive the nanny crazy. For example , snack for 3o min , arts and craft or 30 min , dancing/playing in the yard 1 hr , usually the challenge need to have the activities prepare for the nanny. Find the community activities that nanny can do outdoors with the 12 month old that way once they have a good active morning , the toddler become more mellow in the afternoon. its all about planning since you know your children more than the nanny just make sure you help at the beginning while new nanny and kids adjust. good luck [/quote]
