- bane 11y agoWhy would she do that? She'd just watch her own children at the same time.
- pbhjpbhj 11y agoDepends what level of income disparity you're operating on, rich people don't share nannies - the nanny's kids go to a nursery or more likely are looked after by a grandparent (maybe in a different country).
- bane 11y agoI can say this with some experience, rich people definitely hire nannies with children, and those children definitely often stay with the rich kids. Rich people get free playmate service for their child, nanny gets to raise their child in a nice environment and their child gets access to a wealthy social network. It's even a common trope that shows up in literature fairly often.
