[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know why people make this seem like the craziest idea ever. Every single nanny starts with 0 experience as nanny, they may have experience in a nursery or daycare, but still limited. However, at least as a mom, you have experience with your own kids. :roll: I would hire you, OP so don't feel defeated. Everyone starts from somewhere - you may end up loving this and once your kid goes off to school, you may end up doing it as a career.[/quote] Yes, but those nannies with little-to-no experience don't start out in a two-infant-plus-afterschool-kindergartener nanny share making $30 per hour (the equivalent of OP expecting $15 for a kid to watch alongside her own). A low-experience nanny starts with babysitting, mother's helper, part-time, and usually works only with older kids. This is the equvalent of assuming you are perfectly capable of managing a restaurant because you have an MD and waited tables in college. The fact that you don't see the problem IS the problem.[/quote]
