- Yes, *I* need a nanny!
- ARRRRRRRRGH! My trusted babysitter, who has been watching my daughter
- in her home along with her own daughter for a year while I worked,
- is moving out of the area, and I need new daycare arrangements.
-
- I am considering a live-in nanny to make my life as a single mother
- easier. Basically, I would like another adult around so that I
- can walk outside for a moment to do laundry, buy milk, get
- medication for my child or whatever without having to take my child
- every time.
-
- Could people who have had a live-in nanny e-mail with short
- descriptions of their experiences? I'm curious about the following:
-
- Is it appropriate to ask a live-in nanny to babysit beyond
- the workday hours? For example, could I go running in the morning,
- when my daughter is still asleep, knowing that the nanny would
- be there if she woke up, or would that be considered inappropriate?
-
- Are live-in nannies willing to babysit say, one evening a week? If so,
- do you pay them babysitter rates for those extra hours?
-
- Do nannies do any housework/cooking? If so, how much more do you
- pay them?
-
- How much do live-in nannies charge? I've heard there are "hidden costs"
- to having a live-in nanny. What are they?
-
- Is it realistic (or desirable) to hope for someone who will be
- like a member of the family?
-
- Please e-mail to janines@novell.com. Thanks!
