Working as a nanny with my own baby?

[fairibell]

I was wondering if something like this would work?

I am a qualified primary school teacher with experience in both school and early years settings. I have just had my first baby in May and while looking at childcare options/nanny shares etc I wondered if it would be possible for me to work as a Nanny (probably for someone looking for some kind of nanny share) and bring my child with me? Obviously I would be paid less than if I wasn't bringing my daughter with me.

Just interested if this would even be possible, is it allowed?

Also no idea what a nanny would earn? any rough ideas?

Was looking at going back to work part time but obviously if could bring my daughter with me could consider fulltime, hopefully making the money I would if I went back to work part-time?

Any options greatly appreciated!! Am I just being idealistic?

Fairbell, we have just recruited a nanny for DS1 and DS2 who are 5 and 3.5. As others have said, it is harder to find a nanny for those ages so I did look at nannies with children. FWIW, we also got a couple of teachers' cvs who wanted to nanny not teach - I would have been very happy with a teacher but they were asking for MUCH more money than everyone else.

If you get to interview stage, I would be ready for a question about working alone, rather than as part of a team in a school. That was my only concern about employing a teacher.
