If the child is of similar age to the employer's child it could be company.

My nanny would bring her child during the summer. Her child was 6 years older than mine, and my child LOVED having a big kid to look up to. I think it was nice for the nanny to have extra time with her child, and see her child be a good role model for mine. I remember my child being super sad when the school year would start, because it was so much fun to have another child around.

It can work if you have the right nanny and the right age mix of kids. Our nanny was a professional and super on top of things, not a SAHM looking to make some money.

I tried it, the nanny tried hard to make it work but was two small babies and just impossible to get two on the same page.

Where are you advertising, OP?
I could see it work if the child comes occasionally (when school is out) and is much older.

No, they were desperate for child care


Agreed! Physicians ALWAYS want/require the most experienced educated nanny but like to pay under rate/be cheap

I think it's a terrible idea unless the parents get a steeply discounted rate and can't otherwise afford a nanny. Even so, the employers' kids don't get the same level of care that I nanny should be providing because her attention is split between her own kid and those of the employer. In our experience, the nanny's kid can be a negative influence too, and the nanny has to force her kids to get off social media and do their homework. Then there is the matter of liability if the kid gets hurt on your property. NO, NO, NO!
