[quote=Anonymous]OP nearly all of you are not paying for a real nanny or providing your fake nanny with access to certifications and education to improve their skills.

I as a man did hire a nanny briefly. For three months. Short story wife had major medical issue and unable per our doctor to care for our 4 and 6 year old as on total bed rest with 3rd.

I hired a women around 60 who said she has a car, but it was old so I gave her my wife’s SUV to use if she needed a car. She just drive one kid a few blocks twice a day. She also had a dog and told me she had to run home as can’t afford dog sitting. I let her bring him,

We gave her breakfast and lunch but decided we also give her dinner to go each day.

She did this whole career, her teeth was crooked and yellow, she had high blood pressure but no medical insurance. She worked off the books most jobs, so very little SS said was planning on using ex husbands and no kids of own or retirement savings, she shared a house with roommates at 60.

She raised so many kids yet so mistreated and forgotten.

I gave her four weeks extra pay. I told her she was free to leave anytime during the job as it was only temp.

It is sad. I can’t afford a nanny as I would give medical, dental, vision, 401k, sick days, vacation days, a car, free food and lodging and a living salary. And yes I paid her like 25k for her 3 months. That was 17 years ago and I often wonder if she is still alive. I also only had her work 7am to 3:15 pm. And poor women even was doing babysitting in the evening and weekends. She said I was generous but when this ends she has to keep other work.
