[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should pay her 2k per month if you’re wanting to keep her. Well 4k really but I’m giving you half that for room and board. I’d also help her get a drivers license. [/quote]

Thanks! We are currently paying in between those amounts and while we love her… I think it might be too much… I worry that if we start paying her less or reduce her hours since in 1 year we will only need 2 hours per day, that she will leave.[/quote]

I would keep her but let her know the plan to reduce hours so she has the option. If she’s able to stay for free or minimal rent and be part time or on call for sick days and holidays she might go for it. I’d much rather keep someone for free or low rent that I trust in my home and with my kids than try to rent the place out for more money. That piece of mind can’t be bought. Maybe you can throw in babysitting a few nights a week or a weekend a month to even things out. [/quote]

Thank you. I totally agree that it’s ideal to have someone that I trust to be with my kids. Should she be working for free for those 10 hours a week we will need her for in 1 year?[/quote]

No.  There's a thread on the legality of this in the nanny forum right now.[/quote]
