[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What should I offer to pay a nanny who will be bringing her 6 mo old daughter with her? She will be picking up our preschooler at noon. We have given her the option of going to her home or coming to ours at that time. She needs to be at home by 3 when our two older kids arrive home and she will stay until 5-6 pm. We are asking her to do the kids' laundry once a week and make sure the kids are picking up after themselves - preparing snacks, and the occasional helping put dinner in the oven.[/quote] To be honest, the whole arrangement looks kind of iffy and doesn't seem to have much to do with nannying. You are basically paying for another adult at home, not a nanny in a strict sense of the word. Think about it: - she's picking up your preschooler at noon, and I imagine that preschooler is off to lunch and nap, rignt? - older kids come home at 3 pm, she'll probably give them a snack at that time and make sure they don't burn the house down, right? - she won't be able to go on outings, take them to classes, help with homework, etc. because she has to spread herself thin between four kids, right? - and all of that while taking care of her own infant? To be honest, this looks like a housekeeper gig who can also keep an eye on the kids. She's getting a huge benefit of saving on childcare, too.[/quote]
