This is her job. If you got more duties, more hours, etc. you would expect a raise. It sounds like you cannot afford three kids an a nanny and that is not her problem.

Our nanny of three years texted us suddenly to say she was unhappy with the hours and job responsibilities that we are requesting of her during my scheduled c section for our third child and she will require more money and more reimbursement. Despite doing it for years, she states will be unable to help meal prep and to help with driving children to places while I am in the hospital and recovering. We hired her for this job as we do not have local, healthy grandparents or other family to assist us. She told us this two days before my scheduled surgery. My DH is beside himself with anxiety about this.
We are absolutely up S creek without a paddle and I am blindsided by this and very hurt. I trusted this woman completely and we had agreed on terms (or so I thought) earlier in the month. I feel that she is taking advantage of us in our time of most vulnerability and need.![]()
I’m so sorry. You’re right- pay her more, and when you’re home and settled fire her ass and get a new nanny. Congrats on the baby!!
