[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a nanny almost every employer I've had has told me they hired a nanny because it's so much cheaper then daycare. But if you only have 1 child I can understand it being a little higher.[/quote]
???? A nanny is much more expensive than daycare.  A nanny is the most expensive form of childcare, how can it be cheaper than daycare??[/quote]
The daycare they were looking to send their 3 children to at the time ages 1,1 and 2 would have cost 400 per child per week. Or 1,200 per week. They pay me 400 per week to watch all 3. Plus they don't have to transport. I do the laundry, cook the meals, grocery shop and run errands. So I guess I'm the same price as 1 child in daycare. But personally I think I'm worth more because you also get the laundry done ect.[/quote]

Is this full time? $400/week sounds ridiculously low for one child, let alone 3. [/quote]

It can't be. I make $500 a week watching 2 kids after school only, I only work a couple hours a week. Even if this PP is only make a really low hourly rate she is probably only working 20 hours a week.[/quote]
I work 50 hrs a week sometimes way more [/quote]
