Hey everyone, just wanted to get a second opinion. I work as a nanny and have a load of childcare experience. The family I nanny for have decided (a bit short notice) that they are going away for 2 weeks as of Saturday 25th July (I get still get paid).
I normally arrange to work while they are away as I would die of boredom otherwise but as they only decided last minute I have been struggling to find some work. So I decided to look on an au-pair site - I registered my details and pretty instantly got a load of interest.
There was one woman I liked the sound of and I emailed her explaining I am not an au-pair and available for 2 weeks (she is from Italy holidaying in St Agnes for 2 weeks). By the sound of it she wants me to do the sort of work I do as a nanny and for 25-35 hours per week.
I will be staying with the family in their holiday home and I will be eating with them (I'll eat what I'm given not fussy). The little boy is three and she wants me to teach him a bit of English, do his laundry and ironing, keep him entertained, cook meals for the little one and evening meals for all of us. Which is fine by me but for £90 a week, is that right ?
I wasn't expecting a normal nanny wage obviously as she was looking for an aupair initially. But £90 seems like a joke?!
