[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Thanks for the replies! We are starting our search and our hope is to find a nanny. We were thinking somewhere in the range of $20-23 for one infant. We don’t expect anything outside of duties for the baby - take care of him, do his laundry 1-2 times a week, put dirty bottle in dishwasher, keep nursery tidy, restock baby supplies when getting low, possible make homemade baby food, etc. Our focus is to have a nanny who has at least 5 years experience ( having a degree isn’t all that important to us) and will make him the main focus. We don’t want a babysitter, we want a nanny who will love him, treat him as their own or an aunt/nephew relationship, help us work on his development, research activities in the neighborhood, help guide us through sleep training and schedules, etc. We feel that a nanny have a stable, verifiable income is important for not only her, but us. We will do everything through a payroll system, and offer benefits - guaranteed hours, vacation, sick time, paid holidays, provide lunch, etc. I was a nanny for 5 years in my twenties, and important it is to treat your nanny well.

I think you are in good shape, OP, and will get a good nanny.  I would talk to her about doing narration for the newborn (I was shocked at my baby's receptive communication at four months old from narration) and read to the baby from birth.  [/quote]
