[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don’t have to fill her time OP. You just have to pay her for that time in order to keep her. I was a Nanny for 7 years for one family. The  last 3 years of that the kids were in school all day. They did not try and fill my time. But they knew I was available for sick days, holidays, summer, spring break etc…. It was worth it to them to not have to stress about days off. [/quote]

This. since you have always had a nanny, you may not realize how often school-aged kids are home -- there are SO many days off throughout the year (the school year usually has 180 days of instruction, which is half of the year), and young kids will have lots of sick days.

I wonder if you actually want to be a SAHM mom, and that's the issue here -- you want to let this person go, and part of you wants to just never hire a nanny again. If so, own it, and let her go.

Trying to negotiate a part time (15 hours a week!) job is not a good deal of her. Her friends and family would advise her to quit and find another full-time family. [/quote]
