  • Hi Dragonista,

    I don't mind answering your questions, I have unusual circumstances which I should probably have explained better. Until recently I worked for 2 families (Although I worked for 3 families at 1 point!), hence being self employed. I work 29 hours a week whereas the average nanny works 40+ so on balance I consider myself well paid especially for my age and the area I live. I didn't see the point of asking the family I work for to employ me as they are relocating at some point in the near future. Plus if they are still here in September the youngest child I look after will be going to nursery so my hours will be reduced and I may try to get a second family again. I understand where you are coming from though, it was something I considered at the time =)

    Thanks MSE FM I'll head over there now and have a look =)
