[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a nanny, I can tell you that your nanny is 100% in the wrong here.  I am sorry this is happening to you, OP.  Give her the extorted money and then fire her ass ASAP.  She is making such a stupid, short-sighted error here as she will need you for a reference.  [/quote]

Not a nanny, but am not new to the game, OP.  Here's the thing:  she knows she has you over a barrel.  BUT as PP states, she is being short sighted. [b] We had a nanny for years part time[/b] -  she had a full time gig, or a few, over the years - but was with us consistently for her part time gig.  Anyway, she refused to do anything but watch television after the kids went to sleep, which was an hour or two into her four hour minimum.  Needless to say, we guaranteed her hours, three shifts per week, as she required, but we always (always) spent more on the sitter than the actual date, and that got old quick. We were new parents and had plenty to do around the house - light dishes, light laundry. She could have easily have done one or the other to pitch in, especially since she was being paid top dollar for being an "experienced" nanny.  Like I said, this went on for years.  Finally, we just couldn't do it any more, and she lost out, because it became impractical.  She owned three houses, and we were new parents saving for college and other expenses. Yeah, no. I strongly feel like you are being taken advantage of, OP.  Not cool. [/quote]

No, you had a babysitter. And you wanted her to clean your house and do your laundry (what is light laundry anyway?) after your kids went to bed? Good luck.[/quote]

Seriously. I babysit part-time on top of my full-time job and if a family asked me to do dishes and laundry I’d no longer sit for them. I absolutely sit there and watch TV after kids are in bed. Completely different situation than a full-time job. Sounds like PP was just jealous of her part-time babysitter’s three houses. [/quote]
