anyone have a nanny housekeeper?

[friendlyedjit]

think this may be where I am heading! Anyone any experience tips, know re salary expectations.
Will have 2 in 3/4 time nursery otherwise next year with 2 school going children also to cater for. We have an au pair at moment for my older dd's but have found the whole process too difficult and beginning to realise perhaps am just better off not having someone living in the house. We have been a little unlucky with our choices- what seems good on paper doesn;t alway equate. So although no 3 isn't too bad- I think she may have OCD and a possible anxiety disorder. Unfortunately the OCD doesn't entail copious cleaning of the house, only copious cleaning of the hands and body and avoiding our dirty grill pan at all times!!

Do you mean that she will have house keeping duties while the kids are in school? If so I would think it's the same rate of pay and hours, just that you need to find someone who is willing to pick up housework when kids aren't around.

i'm sorry have double posted - am going throught hat pregnancy phase of walking up really early!! and not being completely with it

I did wonder about the 5:43 am post. I can't believe I'm the only one who has posted. All the other nanny employers must be working hard today.

There is another board on this matter
