    Default Escorts- Nanny's and sitters

    Sorry I am posting another thread about childcare but as many of you feel the same way this is a huge decision to make cause our babies mean the world to us! This could technically belong to the "Life Support" section but its geared towards escorts so here we go..
    I have been interviewing sitters and nanny's to watch my daughter for the "night shift" because I cant keep limiting myself to work only the daytime. I just got done interviewing this girl who had everything..fingerprint clearance, references galore, cpr/first aid etc etc.
    I asked her what her expected pay was and she said "between $15-$20 depending on the family and job. But I can go to $12/hr"
    To me..that seems a bit high because my daughter will be getting ready for bed or asleep when the nanny comes over and she wont have to do anything but sit on her ass and rock her back to sleep if she wakes up or change her if need be. Am I just being super cheap or am I right in feeling like this nanny is too expensive for the job?
    What do you pay per hour for your childcare?

    $240 a week (If I am taking her to daycare)

    $400 a week if I am touring and I need to pay a LIVE IN nanny
    (which is nothing when you're coiming back home with no less than 4 grand.)

    $10-$15 an hour for a babysitter if I have to go to a one or muti-hour call. So a 5 hour dates with a client which is $1800. Baby sitter is 50-$75 for 5 hours. That is nothing out of $1800 or even $300-$400 an hour.

    Sometimes I get my sister to watch her. My sister is unemployed and I'll give her $100-$200 here and there for watching her.

    I probably should have said my daughter is in daycare as well which is why I am already like "ouch please leave my bank account alone!" ($220/wk) LOL
    But I suppose it does seem reasonable for GOOD care instead of some CL ad for a sitter. And this girl seemed really good.

    I would NEVER hire a sitter for my child from craigslist. Never never never. I went through a nanny agency. VERY reputable agency in my area. You should go through one as well. They screen the sitters for you and you can interview them one by one on your own if you want. Trust me it's pricey but it's worth it. My nanny is like a family member and my daughter loves her.

    ^^^^^^^ I used to work as a nanny. I was payed $15 hr to sit on my ass. I worked for a very "reputable" agency that found me on CL. Most agencies ( I worked for 4) found there girls on CL and charged the client a fee to shop around on this site. Yes I was "screened". I filled out my application, which was complete BS. I put my mom as my previous employer and yes, some people did call her for a reference but it was all pretty easy. Going through an agency is BS-no matter what they fill you with. I was working with VERY wealthy families in Dallas that lived in homes that would put everyone on heres to shame. Agencies don't mean shit and I wouldn't put my faith in them.

    I found my nanny through an agency and she's been wonderful to us. Agencies do mean a lot to me because that's how I find her. I actually interviewed over 20 ladies before I picked her. I met every single one of them after they were "screened" by this agency. Again, I will NOT get on craigslist and hire a nanny from there because I am NOT comfortable with it.

    Hi Sexxy Sadie, When I lived in LA I danced in a VERY dirty club and I was in constant fear that it was going to get raided. When I finally found a sitter that I trusted, I paid her $18 an hour (and this was 4 years ago). She came over and just slept. I also was honest with her about what I did. She was the only person I knew in LA who knew that I was dancing. I think I paid her as well as I did because she knew that if for some reason my ass ended up in jail, I would need her to stay until I could get out and she could not call anyone for me. I guess I paid her that much money as insurance just in case there was ever a problem.

    Just an FYI to be VERY careful about who you leave your children with. A woman I know who was "escorting" had her babysitter turn her into the authorities... causing her to lose custody. If the person babysits in your home they could snoop & come across something without you telling the sitter. Otherwise if the person is sitting outside your home they could always run across one of your ads or have someone direct them to one. Its best to find someone you know is good with children & not opposed to anything which you may be doing for work. While going through a reputable agency is smart, finding someone you know & trust within the industry or personal friends could be smarter. Even having a network for this could be useful, particularly if you could work out a trade arrangement.
    Don't you ever sleep?
    Not at night...that's when the stars have rather better things to do. They're coming out, shining, that sort of thing.

    LAChloe- I can see why you would be upfront with your sitter and I totally respect that but stripping is legal and what I am doing is not lol. The nanny could turn around and call CPS or whomever she saw fit to take my child away from me if she did not approve. The only people who know what I do are my two best friends in CA because I trust them more than anyone..too bad they cant be my sitters :p

    As far as rates... when kiddo was at that age where she needed a sitter (feels like forever ago!!) I went through an agency, it was $25 first hour, and $10-12 each additional hour... Plus I always tipped her too.

    She stopped working for the agency cause she had finals coming up and could not do that and work at the same time... but she called me up out of courtesy to let me know, and we ended up working things out. Since I only ever needed her in the evenings, and kiddo was so low maintenance (her bedtime was 830, and when she was out..she was OUT!) she was still able to get all her studying time in, so she kept watching kiddo for me until she graduated a few months later and moved.

    I missed her SO much! lol Never had another sitter like her since.

    Every state license child care centers, look up your state and look for Family In Home Day Cares, I have a wonderful sitter I found that way, my daughter spends the night a couple nights a week and also she picks her up after school, Family In Home Daycares are well inspected and often there are not to many kids, I pay a total of 160 a week and work over 35 to 45 hours a week and they are variable hours,

    SS- I didn't even think about this. This is actually an amazing idea. This way you can just ay you bartend/cocktail and you don't have to worry about CPS. etc.

    I don't lie and say that I bartend/cocktail and I don't worry about CPS. When you live your kid with people you trust, you shouldn't have to worry about CPS. My daughter's nanny is like a family member to us if something were to ever happen to me I know she'd make sure she was taken care of. The trick is surrounding yourself with good hearted people that'll have your back. So yeah just any ol nanny service on cl ain't gonna cut it.

    ^ agreed - If one can't trust their nanny with their secrets, They certainly can't trust them with their kids ! I remember a friend of mine used to go around her house hiding her valuables when her nanny was due !!!! It used to shock me that she would trust someone with her child whom she wouldn't trust with her purse. Priorities are a strange thing .

    When I was young, our nanny , like TG says , was an extended part of our family - I loved her then and still love and keep in touch with her now !
