Nannies

I was looking at getting 1 from Porse (I think) & it was just to do every 2nd week from about 2-5pm ish, they did not have a problem with that & it depends on who is avaible. I did not do it in the end.

I used to nanny for a lady who worked from home but also spent time out and about with clients etc.  I was promised at least 35 hours a week pay but no set hours, sometimes I worked more sometimes less. (of course if I worked more I got paid for them!) I would sometimes even work a split day eg 7am-10am then 2pm-6pm. I didnt get paid for the hours in between. I was very flexible and happy to work like this but I know a lot of nanny friends said there was no way they could work like that so I guess its just something you would work out before they signed on the dotted line so to speak. 

Ok cool, so maybe possible.

I have a rough idea of what they charge, I had a nanny for four weeks cos I broke my elbow back in October and couldn't look after the boys with just my left arm working. I know how much the nanny was getting paid so I would guess maybe $2-3 on top of that for the agency fees. Maybe more.

The charge strangely enough isn't too much of an issue as it would only be to cover a few hours between Dh leaving for work and me getting home and vice versa, it's whether they would cover the hours I want.

Oh well, I applied for the job anyway so we will see, might not get it and then I won't need to worry about it.

I used to nanny for a family before I got preg. They live on a dairy farm so during milking I would start at 5am and get the 5yr old up and feed and take her to school then some days I would pick her up from school and feed and bath her in the evenings. I also did all day during the school hols and some evenings. Also did housework for them as well.

I hated it but needed the money.
