Nanny with own child

I'm a new Mum. Before I had my baby I was a nanny for 20 years. So now I'm considering going back to work next January. My little boy will be 10 months then,and I'd want to take him with me to work.
My question is would you consider me for a job? I have lots of experience with this age group and have looked after twins of this age. So ideally would look for a family with one child of similar age.
Would you expect me to drop my pre baby rates and if so by how much?
I'm in London was earning £100 per day net before,pretty much the going rate for someone with my experience
I'd really like to hear your views.
Thanks

I have employed a nanny with her own child. We are in London, and paid her £100 per day net. I am aware that I could have paid her less, but I figured that she was doing the same job, and I wanted to be fair.

If you have lots os experience, and can be flexible, there is no reason for you not to find a lovely job.

We loved our nanny, I would not hesitate to hire a nanny with her own child again, we had a good experience.

Good luck.

What a nice employer you must have been.

Oh thanks

I don't think people appreciate their nanny's enough in my opinion. Bloody hard work.
