How old is your child? Just curious as to how they might interact with a four year old.

sounds like the liabilities continue to grow. You don't know the parent. Are they gonna sue when their kid falls down or something? Who knows.


We have a nanny for our two kids and this is what would concern me if she would have the same request.

I wouldn't go for it for the liability reasons stated.

Don't do it. If she asks why, explain to her that while you don't expect anything to go wrong, something could happen, and you can't expose your family to that kind of risk.

I feel like if I say no I'll have to increase what we pay her, which I was really hoping to avoid...

my first reaction too, but our nanny is also a friend, so I do want to help her out... It's a tough situation


That is tough. approach it with optimism and then draw up some waiver to have at least SOME documents in writing for this, INCLUDING a time-frame for care and waiver of liability.

Also, find out what the Nanny is getting paid for watching this kid, if anything. And deduct half of that from your $600 a month so you both get a little something out of it.
If she's getting $200 month, drop her to $500.

I wouldn't do it. You are already risking it having the other toddler there. You could get sued if something happened. You are required to be licensed at some point when there are enough kids.

I would let her do it if it's only for the summer. It's not going to be a big deal imo

She can keep all the kids she wants at her own house, but not at mine. Thats they way our babysitter does it. Our kids get off the bus after school there and we pick them up from her.

This would concern me more than anything else. 4 year olds can be a handful and I wouldn't want my 1 year old getting less attention.

Guys. He's already at the link ability point with the nannys kid there too. As long as he has child locks on everything he should have anyway and there is no grosse negligence then it would be fine. I would make sure the 4 year old isnt wild but a meeting with the parents and child should help that.

I would give it a try but on a trial basis and amke the other parent sign a non-liability contract.

Also think about the additional cost, minor...snacks, drinks, etc.

If you are still seriously considering this I would at least talk to a trusted attorney about what kind of insurance policy you would need to cover your arse when they sue you. Then when he tells you how stupid this is you may come to your senses and not do it.
