[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would expect to pay 1/2 if your child was coming with you and taking up 1/2 or more of the attention.[/quote]

It's not a nanny share; nanny can't make her own schedule, take off whenever, etc.  if that's the case then I expect the nanny to only care and interact with the child; no cooking, no washing child's dishes, no laundry etc.  [/quote]

It is basically a nanny share. " Professionals" don't bring their kids to work.  Someone who does shouldn't expect the family to pay the same rate as attention is shared.  If your nanny is taking 20 minutes to breastfeed each time, [b]possibly 3 times a day that is an hour devoted to the one child[/b].  I would expect a nanny to keep the common areas she uses clean, cook for the child, clean up after the child and do the child's laundry and maintain their bedroom.  [/quote]

You know, it's actually better for children if their caregiver (be it parent or nanny) isn't on top of them at all times. Parents today have the odd notion that their children should be constantly entertained. A little boredom is good, it allows them to think their own thoughts and experiment with stuff on their own. They don't always need a song and dance from the adults.[/quote]

The caregiver job is to give the attention to them as that is what they are paid to do.  If a nanny is breastfeeding in your home an hour a day, that is not attending to your child and just a warm body.[/quote]
