[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. The nanny spoke to me about it the day she met the mom, just never "asked." She just said "I met so & so and she said she is unhappy with aftercare, so I offered to take her daughter home a few days a week. The two girls play nicely together..." I guess my hesitation is 1) I think it's weird the other mom never asked or said thank you for this, and 2) my 1 year old is newly on the move and I wonder if it would be hard to watch all 3 kids if they start going in different directions.

I do trust my nanny, so you think ultimately it is her decision?[/quote]

I do think it is your nanny's decision.  It is no skin off your nose, no one is double-dipping and your girls get along.  [/quote]

Unfortunately it is skin off your nose. That child is now your responsibility. In this situation you have 100% of the risk.

The nanny and mom take on 0 risk.

I would consider that double dipping (the other mom gets a $x n hour nanny for free and the mom paying gets 2/3 of a nanny while paying full fare.

By the way-what happens if there is an emergency (with this random child or yours). Having an extra kid around makes it much more difficult to address.

Any nanny or mom that says its the nanny's decision must then agree that nannies of twins and single babies should make the same hourly pay and that nannies who watch 2 kids vs 3 should get the same pay.

The whole situation is CRAZY!
