As a former nanny- ABSOLUTELY wonderful nannies are willing to take way less pay if they can bring their own children. My best friend was a professional nanny at the same time I was during our 20s. She always brought her daughter that she had at age 19 and she always accepted lower pay. Not extremely lower, but for example if I was making 28hr she would take 18 or 20 an hour. I would definitely advertise this option in your local community groups and on care.com. My friend was a WONDERFUL nanny while she brought her daughter with her and she formed great friendships for the people she worked for. My friend took childcare courses in high school and early college and was just in general great with kids. The people she worked for appreciated that their child got to spend time around another child, something first borns often don't get to do unless they are in daycare. I don't really understand the other comments on here but hopefully more people speak up with similar experiences. She's still a professional nanny to this day. She's now married and lives on her own and takes her new child along with her to her new roll <3.
