[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to be a nanny charging $17 an hour.
Now im a Mom who works PT. 
If someone asked me to do this I wouldnt expect $17 an hour now I have my own child.
I would probably do it for $12.

As a Mom I wouldnt pay more than $10 an hour for someone to watch my child in this type of arrangement.[/quote]

As you were previously a nanny, you could ask for $12 and it would be reasonable since you have prior experience. As a mom, who is most likely asking another mother with no experience other than maybe some babysitting at some point in her past (no nanny work), no more than $10 would be reasonable for that situation. I couldn't see paying more than that myself either. If the person asked for more, then I would just hire someone else who I wasn't already friends with and that had plenty of experience, who would do actual after school care interacting with my child the majority of the time and be focusing on them and not their own children at any point.[/quote]
