I'm not paying her to sit around on her ass all day for that rare time I need her to watch my son when he's sick. All I'm asking for is ideas of things to make her do to justify paying her.[/quote]

So your child never has school holidays or summer break time? Because THAT is what you are paying her for - to be available to either drop everything and come to care for a sick child, or to work full day(s) when your kid(s) have no school.

If you are concerned about money, consider this: You decide to only pay her for before and after school hours. Therefore, she is able to do much less for you wrt to household stuff than she does now. In addition, she will likely get a second job, and will no longer be able to work full days when you need her. So if a kid is sick, or when there is no school, you will be paying for a temp nanny to cover the times your current nanny is not available. Temporary care agencies charge application and placement fees, and cannot usually guarantee you'll get the same sitter every time, so you'll be doing a lot more "managing" of your childcare.

Yep, you'll save money, but your life will become more complicated and busy. You have to decide if that's worth the lower cost.[/quote]
