These are both cray-cray.
to number one: sleep in the children's rooms? even Alice from the Brady Bunch had her own room, loser!
Number one can't even offer the nanny their own room? Wow!
It also might be worth it to hire two people per shift.
Number 2 is just your standard champagne tastes on a beer budget.
Seriously, having the nanny sleep in the kids room? Isn't that illegal?
1.) Sleep in the kids bedroom? They should build an add on bedroom witg a attached bath. Nothing fancy, but without it, theyre going to attract desperate nannys. And its so weird for all parties.
2.) They can only afford a family child care rate, but they want a nanny. The reason fccs are so affordable is because the caregiver can legally watch up to fourteen children(with proper inspections, licensing, etc.). To pay a nanny a fcc rate is unfair, as they cant generate additional income. Light housekeeping is an absurd request. It costs a minimum of $10/hour(usually twice as much & more....) for light housekeeping alone! If theyre speaking about cleaning up after the children, I dont think they wouldve mentioned it at all!
The first one sounds like a thread I've been following on DCUM from the nanny's perspective! Same area, six kids, and kosher!

I would have to be all kinds of desperate to share a room with my charges. No thanks!
God it makes me so sick to see parents posting an ad seeking a Nanny w/so many expectations and duties involved, yet they cannot or do not want to pay the going rate.
I wish I could eat steak every night for dinner, but instead of going to the Sizzler..I have to settle for McDonald's because that is the way it is. I would NEVER eat at the Sizzler, then when the check comes, tell the waiter, "I am sorry, but I am on a tight budget now..I am a single parent, blah, blah, blah....can you please charge me less for my dinner?"
It sounds crazy, yeah...but that is exactly what parents do when they expect a Nanny at a daycare price.
As for the Chicago family seeking a nanny- well I live in Chicago and let me tell you no one in their right mind who is truly a gifted nanny, patient, & kind would take this job! Well let me tell you I meet lots of respectable wonderful nannies daily and none of them get paid this poorly EVER! You cannot expect a nanny work full time 10 hours a day Monday-Friday and pay her $150-$170 A WEEK! That's just flat out mean and disgusting! I'm sure these morons think they are being reasonable and will probably find someone not a legit nanny of course to care for their child but (and I hope they are reading this,) they will NOT find a GREAT nanny for $150-$170 a week! These people need to understand this is not a "gig" this is our career our job so paying them crap wages only means your screwing over not only yourself but your child too! If you don't take child care seriously what makes you think your caregiver will?
I forgot to mention in my last post that to live in Chicago is pricey! So $150-$170 a week you would be lucky to buy groceries, and cable forget it you would be lucky to have $50 left over for other bills! Sadly like many places if you want a clean decent apartment in a good neighborhood it costs a pretty penny! I mean rent on average anymore in Chicago is $1,200-$1,400 for a two bedroom apartment! Studios can are $750-$950! When I was single I lived in a studio it was $905 a month and that was 5 years ago! Don't even get me started in buying a place! These people are totally out of line about a nanny's salary!
I am a career nanny in Chicago and I can assure you, no nanny will take up that perk, not even the undocumented workers. You might want to consider daycare. Good luck!
