How much should I pay a nanny who brings her own child with her?

[sallyss]

I am considering employing a nanny who will bring her daughter with her to work. How much should I pay her - same as a nannyshare? But what about the tax?
Any advice?
Thanks, Sally

That's a bit harsh realist

it's true, what mother wouldn't want to bring their child with them to work! Being a nanny makes that possible, no employer is fourced to accept another child. It's a bit silly.

AtheneNoctua is just eek!

I was lucky enough to raise my son in the pikler way. all the other children i looked after whilst having mine were closely same age as him (one girl was 2 weeks younger, the boy after was 4 days younger, the third child was 2 months younger)
not only waking him up at 5.30am, and adjusting his daily routine to the other children, he keeps growing smart independent and resilient around the other children.

I can't believe someone would drag up a thread that's over 7 years old just to slag off another poster. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Some employers are happy for Nannies to bring their children, some aren't. It's pretty much the only job where there's potential to bring your child.

AtheneNoctua Is literally the most stupid person on this page hmm very disturbing that people think like this.

Yes terribly disturbing that back in 2009 she didn't want to pay the full rate for 1 to 1 care, when the care her child would actually be getting is 2 to 1 or even 3 to 1. How very unreasonable of her.

I'm a nanny and agree with AtheneNoctua, why would you pay the same for a full time nanny that just looks after your child as you would pay a nanny that brings their own child with them? I agree that it's not a nanny share so the nanny should get more than half but less than 100%.

It also surprises me that someone would dredge up a 6 year old thread to trash a previous poster. I've met and worked for Athene and she's a lovely and fair lady and her children are adorable and well brought up.

Thought as was reading the thread this rings a bell and there was my reply from years ago :)

AN the wise owl is lovely - don't think she ventured much on here now as her kids are much older plus has nc

Any nwoc who gets a job is very lucky to be able to take their child with them and not pay out for childcare - so a discount of 10/20% makes sense

If you Are to be on same pay them very lucky

And yes the employers children won't have 100% attention hence the discount

Wonder what the deleted posts said

And why and how find a really zombified thread !!!!

Blondes read Dinosaurs post above. Just no need to drag up an ancient thread to be nasty about a poster who's expressing her own opinion.

As both a nanny, and a mum. I have taken my son to work with me,since he was 7 months old. It's always worked out really well and I have never worked for a reduced rate. Nannying is different to other jobs, in that it can be a bonus having your own child. I have found that I am a much better nanny, since I became a mum. If you're lucky it can be a very rewarding experience

Hi Everyone,

I am a young mum with a baby of 8 months and I was wondering how and where I look to apply for a nanny role where I can take my son with me? Is anyone looking for a nanny?
Currently I work in an office but I miss my son so much, I am severely depressed throughout the whole day making my days at work dreadful to endure.

I would really appreciate your thoughts!

P.S. not to make things awkward but I wear a headscarf for religious purposes which i accept may not sit comfortably with some mums.

shorifakhan - please start a new thread so others can see what you need and try to help you.

Ive had 2 nannies bring their own kid. Never again. 1 said she couldnt cope with my kids plus hers. The 2nd one put my kids in danger whilst playing with her own child.

I would absolutely have considered an experienced nanny with her own child but not someone with no previous experience who gave me the impression that becoming a nanny at this juncture in her career was just a means to fund spending time with her own child. This is how your post comes across at the present. You will need to persuade the parents you have something to offer THEM looking after THEIR child and also that you will do things their way.

A headscarf wouldn't be at all an issue for me.

This. exactly.
