[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This reminds me of something a former client told me. She'd hired me as a summer nanny for her two elementary schoolers. She told me that the previous summer she had hired the 16 year old who lived a few houses down for $9/hr. The kids had a lot of fun with her, but she came home every single day to a huge mess in the play areas and the kitchen. She said it was worth it to her to double her childcare costs (hiring me at $18/hr) just to have the peace of mind to know she'd be coming home to a clean house. Right now it sounds like you're paying for the real nanny but only getting the actual experience of a neighborhood high schooler (decent with the kid maybe but subpar in other aspects). [/quote]

Nanny is something different to everyone. I'm paid $24 an hour and I rarely ever do the dishes, and never do any other chores (vacuum, sweep, wipe things, etc). I am there only for the baby. Sometimes I will find myself doing the dishes, but usually DB happily does them when he gets home. Some people want just a nanny and some want a nanny/maid.[/quote]
