[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd do it and save up some cash for a few month.  They're also paying room and board right? And half the hours they need are sleeping, right? You'd be able to save a lot over 6 months and the move on with a nest egg. [/quote]

6 months?

When I take a job (I'm not op) I take it for the long term.

[b]My first nanny job was 10 years, second was 15, I'm now on my 3rd nanny job and it's 5 years and counting. [/b]

But hey I am paid very well for my job, I don't need to bounce around every few months for a "nest egg". [/quote]

I know it is derailing this thread, but I am curious about this.  Back when you first started with each of these families, did you expect you would be with them for that long?  
As for my situation, I started with two families back in the summer of 2014.  With both, it was just supposed to be one or two days a week of babysitting.  But it has grown and grown and grown.  Back when I first started with my two families, I thought it would last 4 - 6 months.  Now here we are closing in on three years together and I think the families would like to keep me until the kids have drivers licenses.  [/quote]

I knew they would be at least 5 years. I am hired at the birth of a child, though I have a yearly contract, I choose my families on long term. 
So I am there til kindergarten, at least.

Like in any career field, it's a mix of experience, knowledge management, longevity, creativity, education and outlook.
