[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We pay $225. She works about 35 hours a week with our two kids (and 10 of those they are napping or doing quiet time), and  I do all the planning of activities and schedule. She feeds them when she is with them and helps them pick up toys but she isn’t doing laundry or anything. She has a car, her own suite on a different floor (privacy), good food and lots of take out, and we don’t expect 100% capacity from her. Our take is she isn’t paid as well as a nanny and doesn’t get the benefit of cultural exchange due to covid so we want her to have an easier load. We pick days for her to sleep in and get off early and are around if the kids are flipping or if she needs help getting them out the door (WFH). She tells us about her friends who have it worse all the time. I think it’s a good gig for a not-ready-to-adult kid interested in traveling, assuming the host family doesn’t treat them like a nanny. They aren’t nannies. [/quote]

Omg this is so f$7ed up. You are so f$7ed up. This is an adult you’re employing. You don’t get to decide she’s still a child, nap hours are still work hours, being on another floor is not “privacy.”

Honestly this is “some of the slaves were happy” level bonkers bananas. [/quote]
