I have nanny'd and tons of babysitting experience but it has been a looong time since then. I also have a lot of daycare experience but wouldnt use any of them as references sadly. At this point I have more experience in insurance!!</p> <p>Id be looking to nanny a family with my DD with me. I wonder if this would at all be lucrative? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/conannying-would-anyone-do-it-what-would-you-pay#post-159296 Tue, 15 May 2012 14:14:11 +0000 mrs. bird 159296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>this is what i plan to once we have a LO. right now i'm a nanny &amp; LOVE my job=) i have a great bond with all of the families i've worked with (all but 1 was at my wedding!) and each has contacted me at some point after i've left to ask me to return, so i feel like they'd be open to making the situation work.</p> <p>i think if you treat it as a nannyshare where you are the other parent as well as the caregiver, it can really work out for everyone. the LOs have the social benefit of having other LOs around and you have the benefits of not paying for childcare and making some $$.</p> <p>as far as the $$, i would look at how much people in nannyshares in your area make- if a caregiver is getting $300/wk from each family ($600 total) to take car of 2 LOs, i'd ask for the other family to pay you $300. just make sure you have a solid nanny agreement in place so everyone is on the same page as far as expectations &amp; look for families that share similar parenting views. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/conannying-would-anyone-do-it-what-would-you-pay#post-159280 Tue, 15 May 2012 14:06:34 +0000 purrpletulips 159280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My BIL/SIL did this but their kids were toddler/pre-school aged at the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/conannying-would-anyone-do-it-what-would-you-pay#post-159268 Tue, 15 May 2012 13:59:55 +0000 mediagirl 159268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would consider it but I'm betting my husband would veto it. I would only do it if it cost less than my daycare costs. I'd pay maybe $500/month? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/conannying-would-anyone-do-it-what-would-you-pay#post-159264 Tue, 15 May 2012 13:58:19 +0000 Nskillet 159264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, obviously today I'm just being a little weepy at the aspect of DD going to daycare in mid-July but has anyone done co-nannying? Where your child care provider also brings their child along? Would you employ a person with this situation and what would you pay them? </p>
