[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Career nanny here. I would never agree to those hours. I would possibly consider it with a substantial increase in pay, otherwise, not a chance. Turns out, my life does not actually revolve around your children, who knew!  But, you can ask. If the nanny is desperate she may agree. If she’s smart, she’ll start looking for a new position.

Additionally, what I’ve done in the past is add on some household management tasks: laundered kitchen linens and bath towels for family (no personal items of the parents), grocery shopping, dry cleaning, random errands, car maintenance, etc. I would prep snacks and activities for kids as well as prep pre-planned meals for the family’s dinner. I did not add any sort of non-child related cleaning, but would do a deep clean of kids’ areas more frequently.  I also had more down time, so don’t expect her to be moving every moment she is there. I was there for summers, school breaks, and sick days. These are ideas that may help your family justify the cost of keeping her with her regular hours. [/quote]
